Stud Poker

The object of Stud Poker is to have a higher five-card poker hand than the dealer. The game starts when the player places an Ante wager and then he dealer deals five cards face up to the player and then the dealer takes five cards with only one facing up. The player then has the option to Fold their hand if they don’t believe they can beat the dealer or Raise, which requires them to place another wager equal to double their Ante bet. If the player folds the hand, they will lose the Ante wager and move onto the next hand.

If the player raises, the dealer will show his cards. If the player’s hand is higher than the dealer's hand, the player wins the Ante. In order for the player to win the Raise, the Dealer’s hand must qualify by containing least an Ace/King. The Raise is paid out based on the strength of the player’s hand. If the Dealer’s hand fails to qualify, the player’s raise bet is returned. In the event of the dealer and the player having hands of equal strength, the hand with the next highest card (the Kicker) will be the winner.
