About Side Bet City
Side Bet City, developed by Evolution, is a poker game with an 80s Vegas theme. In this variation, you play against a pay table and not against the dealer or other players (even though they are present). This fast-paced poker game is now available at JeffBet, offering players a chance to 1000x their bet
The game is simple to play. Indeed, you don’t even need any prior knowledge of poker. Each player has four betting options: 3 Card, 5 Card, 7 Card, and All Lose. Once you place your bet, the dealer places seven cards on the table, which covers the first three bets. For example, if you bet on 5 Card winning, the first five cards will determine whether you win or lose. All Lose means that you bet on there being no winning hand.
The main features of Side Bet City include a retro 80s studio, a live dealer, other players, solo gameplay, easy rules, and a seamless interface. This game is ideal for players who want to try a new poker variant, those who are new to poker, and even high rollers.

How To Win at Side Bet City – Tips & Strategies
To win at Side Bet City players need bet on which of the three options will create a poker hand. While Side Bet City is easy enough for complete beginners to play, you might find the game more enjoyable if you strive for a basic knowledge of poker. This allows you to recognise why certain hands in the game win, and others don’t. However, this is not a requirement, as Side Bet City has little strategy other than picking one of the four betting options. The dealer will recognize the winning hand, so if you don’t want to learn poker, it’s absolutely fine.
Experienced poker players might also know that side bets favour the house more than the player, and this game is all about side bets. However, this doesn’t mean that Side Bet City is not worth playing.
Each betting option has a different RTP, so betting on the one with the best percentage could skew things more in your favour. In this case, the 3 Card and All Lose are the best to play as they offer RTP of 96.69% and 96.29%, respectively. The 5 Card RTP is 95.21%, and the 7 Card RTP is 94.34%.
Another tip is to avoid betting on all four options. It might seem like a great idea (after all, you’ll be covering all your bases), but the reality is that the odds are against you. Even if one hand wins, chances are that you won’t recoup the losses of the other three plus the losses of previous rounds where you tried this strategy and won nothing.
Always determine a budget that you are happy with. In other words, it won’t sting if you lose the entire bankroll. This way, you can focus on having fun, and any winnings are a bonus.
