Keep your cards close to your chest

Casino Stud Poker

WHAT’S THE STORY

You and the dealer each receive five cards. Your cards are dealt face-up, while the dealer has one card face-up and four cards face-down. Once dealt, these five cards are fixed and cannot be altered during the round.

You must choose to either CALL or FOLD. If you decide to fold, you forfeit both your Ante bet and any optional Jackpot bet. Should you opt to call, you must place an additional Call bet, equal to double your Ante bet.

Once both bets are placed, the dealer reveals their hidden cards. The best 5-card poker hand is declared the winner. Keep in mind, the dealer's hand must contain an Ace and King (or better) to qualify.

If the dealer does not qualify, you win even odds on your Ante bet, and your Call bet is returned to you. If the dealer qualifies, their hand is compared to yours to determine the winner.

You also have the chance to place a Jackpot bet, which is resolved independently from the main game. However, if you choose to fold and lose your Ante bet, you will also lose your Jackpot bet.
