How To Play Mississippi Stud
Tension mounts as you flip your cards. A pair of jacks or better and you go home a winner. A royal flush has royal payouts at 500-1, regardless of your bet.
How To Play Mississippi Stud
Mississippi Stud is a five-card poker game. In Mississippi Stud, you win if your hand is a pair of jacks or better (pairs of 6’s–10’s push). The top payout is 500 to 1 for a royal flush–and it pays on all bets!
Getting Started
Make an ante bet to receive your first two cards. The dealer will place three community cards face down in the middle of the layout.
Play or Fold?
At this point, you may either fold or make the 3rd Street bet of 1x to 3x your ante. The dealer then reveals the first community card. Once you see the first community card, you have a choice: fold or make the 4th Street bet of 1x to 3x your ante. The dealer then reveals the second community card. Once again, you can fold or stay in the game by making the 5th Street bet from 1x to 3x your ante.
Note: When you fold, you forfeit all bets left in action.
Winning and Losing
After turning over the final community card, the dealer resolves all wagers left in action. You win if your five–card hand is a pair of jacks or better (pairs of 6’s–10’s push). See paytable for odds.
