7 Card Stud Poker Rules

Description and Objective

The goal of 7 Stud Poker is to get a winning poker hand as listed in the pay table. In 7 Stud Poker, the Player is dealt seven cards with the first and third card revealed immediately. The Player can place multiple bets to reveal each card one at a time or can select Deal All to reveal all remaining cards. Cards are revealed one at a time in this order: 5th card, 6th card, then all remaining cards.

When the Player’s hand contains a Straight or better, there is an option to double your win in a Double or Nothing Bonus Round. In the Double or Nothing Bonus Round, six cards are dealt face up and one card is dealt face down. The Player must predict whether the face down card is Big (8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, or King) or Small (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). If the Player chooses correctly, they win. If the face down card is a 7, the Player loses. If the Player wins, they will be able to double their win again or to end the Double or Nothing Bonus Round.
