Stud Poker Guide

Objective
Get a higher ranked two-card and five-card poker hand than the House. You must win both hands to get paid.

How to Play

1. Ante up. Ante works as a straight 1:1 bet.
2. All cards except one are dealt face up. There are no card replacements for either party.
3. The player must decide whether to Raise the Bet or to Fold Back. If the bet is raised, the bet value will automatically be twice the ante. If the Player folds back, the dealer keeps the ante and reveals his cards.

Note: When placing the Ante, the Player is allowed to Drop a Credit. When you drop a credit, you place one credit in the slot above the betting circle in order to guarantee a better payout and a bonus for all hands ranking as a flush or higher.
