Casino Stud
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.
 - 
    
The 5+1 BONUS bet is optional. This bet can only be placed after making an ANTE bet and before the cards are dealt.
 
- 
    
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.
 
5+1 BONUS
- 
    
The 5+1 BONUS is an optional bet which has alternative payouts to the standard game.
 - 
    
Pays are evaluated at the end of the game round.
 - 
    
The 5+1 Bonus bet will be assessed regardless of whether the House's hand qualifies.
 - 
    
This bet takes into account the Player’s five cards and the House’s up card only.
 - 
    
If the Player chooses to FOLD during the game round, the 5+1 Bonus bet will not be affected.
 - 
    
The best 5-card hand that can be made from the six cards will be compared against the paytable.

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.
