Criss Cross Poker is a table game inspired by the rules of Mississippi Stud but expanded with the use of a specific card layout and additional betting options. It’s also based on informal games played in the online poker community in which a cross-shape was used to hide two sets of community cards. Released as an official game in 2014, Criss Cross Poker is gaining ground, already available in dozens of big casinos around the country.
Besides the cross layout of cards, which I explain in further detail below, the game is known for having players bet on two poker hands at once, using a combination of hole and community cards to form the best possible hand. Players can win on one hand or both — or lose one hand or both. 스포츠토토
