• 5-Card Stud
• 7-Card Stud

Winning a hand of 5-Card Stud is dependent on both the cards that Players are dealt, and the visible cards on the table. With four rounds of betting, it is a game that requires skill in being able to judge the strength of individual hands, finish with the best hand, and win the pot.


Note: To play 5-Card Stud you must have enough credits to place an ante and a bet.

1. 1. Place an ante on the table.
   
   Note:
   • The ante amount is set by the card room.
   • There is no ante amount when the game stakes are $0.50/$1.00.


2. Each Player is dealt two cards: one pocket card and one visible card.
   
   
3. The Player with the lowest card showing must bring-in the betting.
   
   
4. In the second round, another visible card is dealt to all Players at the table. A round of betting follows. This process continues until each Player has one pocket card and four visible cards.
   
   
5. After the last visible card is dealt to each Player, a final round of betting follows. Remaining Players display their pocket card. The highest hand wins.
   
   

Tips

• Watch your opponents' visible cards. You can see when you are on a losing hand. And you can see if any card that you need to complete a winning hand is already taken by another Player.
