Mississippi Stud®

How-to Player's Guide

Overview

Mississippi Stud® is a five-card poker game that lets you bet up to 10 units on a single hand. In Mississippi Stud®, you compete against a paytable, not against the dealer, and you win if your poker hand contains a pair of Jacks or better. Mississippi Stud® also offers the optional 3 CARD BONUS wager.

How to Play

Make an Ante bet, you may also make the 3 CARD BONUS wager. Once all wagers have been placed, the dealer will give each participating player their two hole cards and 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 of 1x to 3x your ante.

Note: When you fold, you forfeit your Ante and any additional main game bets placed. The 3 CARD BONUS wager remains in action until the three community cards are exposed.

Winning and Losing | After the dealer turns over the final community card, all remaining wagers are resolved. You win if your five-card poker hand contains a pair of jacks or better (pairs of 6s-10s push). See paytable for odds.

Progressive | Progressive wagers are determined by combining the player’s first 3 cards with the two community cards to create their best 5-card poker hand. Qualifying hands will receive payouts according to the selected progressive paytable. The advanced functionalities of GM ATLAS™ are responsible for enabling progressive features such as multigame linking, dual sensors, and standalone progressive.

3 Card Bonus | The 3 CARD BONUS wager wins if the community cards contain a pair or better.
