Hi, I was wondering if Casino Hold'Em is played anywhere (in-person) in the USA?
Do you know which countries it is played in-person in?
If there is another side bet other than Razz being used in real life, I can add it for you.

Hi Harris,
Thanks for adding my game Casino Hold'em® to your Site.
* Casino Hold'em is not play (in-Person) in the USA.
In the USA, Casino Hold’em is only play-online as Live-Dealer and RNG Table-Game.
* Casino Hold'em is play (in-Person) in South Africa and in the Philippines.
* Casino Hold'em has 2 Side-Bets: AA-Bonus (aka AA+) and Casino-RAZZ Bonus.
So yes, there is another side bet other than Razz being used in real life: AA-Bonus (aka AA+).
You can find it AA-Bonus (aka AA+) at wizardofodds site: CasinoHoldemWoO.com
