In almost all kinds of poker game the hands rankings are the exact same, having a very couple of minor exceptions which have become much more or less "home-made" rules.

The fixed odds range from evens for a pair or superior card to 100-1 for a royal flush.
Pai gow Poker
Double-hand can be a fairly complicated gambling establishment game wagered among the croupier and up to seven players. It can be bet having a joker which counts as either an ace or any card needed to complete a flush or straight. You can find 2 variations in hand ranks compared to common poker rankings, the highest hand is 5 Aces and the straight A2345 is ranked second to AKQJT. The players and croupier are dealt seven cards every single which they split into 2 hands of five and 2. The five card grip must be superior than the two card hand. The dealer then shows his cards and plays against every single player, the croupier’s 5 card hand in opposition to the player’s 5 card side and the dealer’s two card palm towards the player’s two card hand.
If the croupier wins both hands he wins.
If the player wins both hands he wins.
If each gambler wins one hand there’s a "push" which means no money changes hands.
If any side is tied the dealer wins it, so:
Dealer/Tie – croupier wins.
Player/Tie – push.
Tie/Tie – croupier wins.
Hold’em
