How To Play Jackpot Stud Poker

Basics

Fold and surrender your Ante or Stay in the game by making a bet twice the amount of the Ante in the Raise area behind the Ante.

2. When the Dealer qualifies and beats your hand, the Dealer collects both the Ante and Raise wagers. When the Dealer qualifies and loses to the player , you will win even money on the Ante, the amount paid on the Raise is determined on what hand you hold.
