Casino Stud Poker

Casino Stud Poker is a five-card stud poker game that is played against a live dealer. Your goal is to win with a higher-ranking hand against dealer's hand.

Live Casino Stud Poker features a Jackpot game and the 5+1 Bonus side bet, both are optional.

After each game round, the deck of cards is replaced with a pre-shuffled deck. Shuffling is done either by a designated shuffler, sitting at the table near the dealer, or with the help of a shuffling machine operated by the dealer.

Limit ranges

The limit ranges displayed next to the table name in the Lobby and on the game table UI correspond to Ante bet limits. In addition, the Limits panel inside the game table gives additional info about different bet positions' limits, e.g. the 5+1 Bonus side bet. The Jackpot contribution is a fixed amount.

Ante bet, Call bet, Call (Blind) bet and Golden Chip

In Casino Stud Poker, you can use the Golden Chip only for your Ante bet, your Call bet must be made with a real money. Although you can place the Golden Chip and a real money bet in the same game round, you cannot make a mixed bet on the same position.

The Call (Blind) feature allows you to place a bet on the Call 2x position before the cards are dealt and automatically participate in the whole game round. Keep in mind that the bet placed on Call (Blind) position is double of Ante bet. If you placed a Call (Blind) bet first, it is automatically copied to the Ante position, also any additional chips placed on the Call (Blind) position will increase the Ante bet accordingly.
The Call (Blind) is available only if enabled by your service provider and you can disable it in the game Settings.

In case Golden Chip is used on Call (Blind) positions, it will be replaced with Real Money chip of the same value. Only one Golden Chip can be used per round, but when the player places the Call (Blind) bet, they automatically place a bet on the Ante position as well, and the game mechanics consider this as use of two Golden Chips. When the player tries to place a bet on Call (Blind), an error message is displayed, explaining that only one (1) GC can be used per round.

Side bets

5+1 Bonus

You win on your 5+1 Bonus bet when your five cards combined with the dealer's first face-up card creates a five-card poker hand of Three of a Kind or better. 
This side bet is only available after a valid Ante bet amount is placed, and you participate in the round with the 5+1 Bonus bet even if you fold you Ante bet.

Jackpot

You can decide to participate in the Jackpot draw by placing a fixed sum (1? or equivalent in your respective currency). Jackpot is triggered if you win with one of seven hand strengths: Royal Flush pays the full Jackpot prize; Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight and Three of a Kind pay a fixed prize (see the pay table for more information). The full Jackpot prize is divided between all the players who placed the Jackpot bet in that round.
