TEXAS HOLD'EM
LAVA DOME

How to Play

The Goal

Survive as long as possible inside the dome. Build your bank before it claims you.

Each Round

• The dome charges an ante from your chips
• You receive 2 hole cards — place your bet
• The flop, turn, and river are revealed one at a time
• Raise or check at each street, or fold to cut losses
• Your best 5-card hand is judged against the dome threshold
• Beat it: win chips. Miss it: lose your bet

The Bank

After each round, cash out chips into your bank. Banked chips are safe — but chips left in play can win you more. Your final score is your bank total.

Escape or Bust

• Escape: cash out everything and end the session voluntarily
• Bust: chip stack hits zero — the dome wins

Hand Values

• Royal Flush: 1000 pts / 10x payout
• Straight Flush: 500 pts / 6x payout
• Four of a Kind: 250 pts / 4x payout
• Full House: 150 pts / 3x payout
• Flush: 100 pts / 2.5x payout
• Straight: 75 pts / 2x payout
• Three of a Kind: 50 pts / 1.5x payout
• Two Pair: 25 pts / 1.25x payout
• One Pair: 10 pts / 1x payout
• High Card: cannot beat the dome

The dome threshold rises each round. Antes escalate. Know when to escape.
