How Hot Pot Works on katla
Hot Pot on katla is a live-dealer game streamed from our multi-camera studio. The croupier sits at a table with a deck of cards and a central pot. You and other players place wagers on the outcome of the next hand. The croupier deals cards according to fixed rules, and all players at the table win or lose together based on the result. There is no bluffing, no strategy variance—only the card outcome matters.
Each Hot Pot round follows the same sequence. First, players place their wagers. The croupier then deals cards face-up. The hand resolves based on predetermined rules (for example, highest card wins, or specific card combinations trigger payouts). Settlement is instant. Your katla account balance updates immediately, and the next round begins. A typical Hot Pot session runs 20-30 rounds per hour.
Table Limits and Account Tiers
Hot Pot tables on katla are tiered by account verification level. Tier 1 users (unverified) can access standard Hot Pot tables with lower per-hand limits. Tier 2 users (email and phone verified) unlock higher limits. Tier 3 users (full KYC: ID, address, and bank verification) access premium Hot Pot tables with the highest limits and priority seating during peak hours.
Table limits are set per hand, not per session. A Tier 1 user might have a limit of our welcome offer per hand; a Tier 3 user might have our welcome offer. These limits reset each hand. You cannot carry over unused limit from one hand to the next. If you reach your table limit and want to wager more, you must move to a higher-tier table, which requires account verification.

Card Rules and Payout Structure
Hot Pot on katla uses a standard 52-card deck. The croupier deals cards face-up according to the game variant. Common variants include High Card (highest card wins), Pair (matching cards win), and Straight (consecutive cards win). Each variant carries different payout odds. High Card typically pays 1:1 (you win your wager amount). Pair pays 2:1. Straight pays 3:1 or higher depending on the specific combination.
All players at the table see the same cards and the same outcome. There is no hidden information. The croupier's actions are visible from multiple camera angles, so you can verify the deal and card reveal. If a dispute arises—for example, if you believe the croupier miscounted a hand—you can request a review. Our support team will check the video recording and settle the dispute within four hours.
