CASINO STUD POKER
How To Play
- The game utilises a standard deck of 52 cards which is re-shuffled between each hand.
- The Player must place a bet in the ANTE bet area on the table.
- Five cards are then dealt face up to the Player. The House is dealt five cards (one face up and four face down).
- The player then has the choice whether to make the PLAY bet or FOLD.
- If the Player chooses to FOLD, the game round will end and the ANTE bet will be forfeited.
- The PLAY bet is equal to x2 the ANTE bet.
- If the player makes the PLAY bet, then the House's cards are revealed and the hands are compared.
- The House must have at least an A-K high card hand to qualify.
- This is defined as an A-High card hand, with a K as the next highest card.
Payouts
- If the House does not qualify, the ANTE bet pays 1 to 1, and the PLAY bet pushes.
- If the House beats the Player, and the House qualifies, both the ANTE and PLAY bets are lost.
- If the Player ties with the House, and the House qualifies, both the ANTE and PLAY bets are pushed.
- If the Player beats the House, and the House qualifies, the ANTE bet will pay 1:1, and the PLAY bet will pay according to the paytable.
- When a bet is pushed, it is returned to the Player with no additional winnings.
Hand Rankings
- In Casino Stud, 5-card hands are ranked from highest to lowest as follows:
- Royal Flush (contains the following cards of the same suit: A, K, Q, J, 10)
- Straight Flush (contains five cards in sequential value and of the same suit)
- Four of a Kind (contains four cards of the same value)
- Full House (contains three matching cards of one value and two matching cards of another value)
- Flush (contains five cards of the same suit)
- Straight (contains five cards of sequential value in at least two different suits)
- Three of a Kind (contains three cards of the same value)
- Two Pair (contains two cards of the same value, plus two more of another matching value)
- Pair (contains two cards of the same value)
- High Card (contains a single card which has the highest value of all cards in the hand)
- For all hand rankings, note that the value of a card ascends sequentially from 2-10, and then according to the following:
- J
- Q
- K
- A
- When evaluating a hand, only the highest possible rank within the Player's cards is considered (while a Straight Flush contains both a Straight and a Flush, it is calculated solely as a Straight Flush). A is high except in 5-4-3-2-A sequence.
Other
- Malfunction voids all pays and plays.
