• Switched blind position in heads-up cash game - Fortune Poker is now adapted to the more global approach of letting the dealer post small blind in heads-up cash games.
• Distribution of tournament prize money - All distribution of prize money in tournaments is now done at the end of the tournaments.

NEW Games

Five Card Stud - Five Card Stud is played in the same manner as Seven Card Stud with the exception that each player receives one face-down card and four face-up cards. There are four betting rounds in total, followed by the showdown.

Telesina - Telesina is a variation of Five Card Stud with the following important exceptions:

• The deck contains 32 cards. Cards valued 2-6 have been removed, leaving 7-A of each suit in the deck.
• The highest open combination starts the action in each betting round, including the first. This means that any player - including the dealer, small blind or big blind - could be first to act in the first betting round.
• Blinds are used instead of antes. A small blind is posted by the first active player to the left of the dealer and a big blind is posted by the second active player to the left of the dealer (identical to Texas Hold’em blind logic). A dealer button is used to indicate the dealer position.
• Players who fold will not have their cards thrown in the muck. Instead, their face up cards will remain visible on the table until the end of the round. There are four betting rounds in total, followed by the showdown.
