This table game is
played with one deck. The player has two ways of making money from
this stud game. The first is similar to other table games. The player
places an ante on the space provided on the table. The dealer will
deal a hand of five cards to the player and a hand of five cards to
himself. The final card dealt to the dealer is dealt face up so that
the player can see the value of the card. At this point the player can
see all five of their cards and one of the dealers. Now the player can
make the decision to fold or bet. If the player chooses to fold, the
hand and ante is surrendered to the dealer and a new hand begins. If
the player chooses to bet, and therefore compares their hand to the
dealers hand, the player has to place the bet on the table. The bet
has to be twice the value of the ante, no more, no less.
The dealer will then
show the player his cards. The dealer qualifies for play if his hand
is ranked with an Ace, King or higher. If the dealer does not have a
qualifying hand and the player has bet then the dealer pushes the
players bet and ante back plus the amount of the ante, as winnings. If
the dealer has a qualifying hand and the player beats the dealer the
player wins an equal value to his ante and the bet is paid out at odds
to the value of the player's hand.

The Progressive (a
five card hand that is a flush or better)
The second game that is going on inside the regular one is the
progressive game. This game is an optional side game added the regular
table game. This game is implemented and resolved every hand. The
player makes the decision to play the progressive at the beginning of
each hand. Then the benefits for getting a progressive hand are only
valid if the player paid for the progressive at the beginning of that
hand. The pay out rates for progressive hands are fixed for the most
part, when he player gets a straight flush the progressive pay out is
10% of the pot. If the player gets a royal flush the pay out is 100%
of the pot.
