OASIS STUD POKER

Oasis Stud Poker is a relatively new and exciting game that has become incredibly popular worldwide.
This easy to learn game requires no previous experience in poker, as all possible winning combinations are displayed on every table.

To commence play place your bet in the 'Ante' box. When all bets are placed, each player receives 5 cards face down and the dealer receives 4 cards face down and one face up.
All players now look at their cards and must decide to play or fold. As with any kind of poker, the players must only look at their own cards and may not discuss their hands with any other players.
If you decide to play you must place in the 'Bet' box an amount equal to exactly twice the sum of your 'Ante', if you fold then you lose your 'Ante'.
When all players decisions are made, the dealer will reveal the remaining four cards. The dealer can only play with an Ace and a King or better. If the dealer's hand is lower than this then all remaining bets in the 'Ante' box will be paid even money and bets in the 'Bet' box are a standoff.
If the dealer's hand is Ace and a King or better, then all players must compare their card to the dealer's cards. Players with a lower hand will lose their 'Ante' and their 'Bet', players with a higher hand must place their cards face up on the table so that they may be verified by the dealer. All winning hands will be paid even money for their 'Ante'. Their 'bets' will be paid out according to the following schedule.

Ace, King 1 to 1 (Ace over King)

One Pair 1 to 1 (Two cards the same)

Two pairs 2 to1 (Two fours & two Jacks, etc).

Three of a Kind 3 to 1 (Three cards the same)

Straight 4 to 1 (Sequence of cards, e.g. 2,3,4,5,6)

Flush 5 to 1 (Five cards of the same suit)

Full House 7 to 1 (One pair and three of a kind)

Four of a kind 20 to 1 (Four cards the same)

Straight Flush 50 to 1 (Sequence of cards of the same suit)

Royal Flush 100 to 1 (10,Jack,Queen,King,Ace same suit)

Please note that in the event of both the player and the dealer having exactly the same hand the result will be a stand-off or tie.
