Bets around

Hi,

What does the following phrase mean
"Bets around, bets around. Let's go, Ben!"
They're playing the cards.

Thanks.

'Bets around'-- everyone around the table should bet (= wager), or see (= match) or raise the previous bet. There is also the offchance (depending on specific context) that this has already been done, and that the speaker is reminding Ben of the fact.
