About
Cajun Stud is a variant of the wildly popular Mississippi Stud that, by introducing two additional optional bonus wagers, adds some interesting twists to the game. As with Mississippi Stud, the required ante is for the final five card hand.
The optional Board Bonus allows the Player to play a round of 3 Card Poker using the three Community cards.
The optional Pocket Bonus is similar to the bonus that is paid out in Texas Hold'em Bonus. It is based on the Player's first two cards and pays out for Pairs and Ace & Face card combinations.
The optional Lo Ball Bonus is interesting. It pays out for five card hands that are, at best, Jack High. Basically, this bonus is for getting a really bad hand!
As in most of the Riverboat Gambler games, the max wager for the ante is from $5 to $500. The optional bonus wagers may be from $5 to $100. None of these initial wagers are required to be the same as the others.
The basic premise of Cajun Stud is that, for an ante, a Player receives two cards. The Player will use these two cards and the three Community cards to form a qualifying five card poker hand.
A round of betting occurs after the first two cards are dealt and before each of the Community cards is revealed. These wagers must be 1x, 2x, or 3x the amount of the Player's initial ante wager.
Players may fold their cards at any time during the betting and forfeit their ante and any wagers that have been placed. A Player who folds is still qualified to be paid for any optional bonus wagers that were placed.
The game ends after the third Community card has been revealed. Poker hands below a pair of sixes are losing hands. All other hands are paid (or pushed) according to the Payout Table that is contained in this instruction section and by pressing on the game board logo.
The 3 Card Poker hand for the Board Bonus is made from the three Community cards and requires no action from the Player. Payouts are made for any pair or above. If there is not a payable hand in the Community cards, the Player's bonus wager is forfeited.
Payout amounts are shown in the Payout Table that is available in these instructions and by pressing on the game logo on the board.
How To Play
Placing Wagers
There are seven places on the table that accept wagers. Tapping on the Ante or any of the three optional bonus spots will increase the wagered amount by the default amount ($5, $10, $25, $50, $100) that is defined in Preferences. A maximum of $500 is allowed for the ante. Each of three bonus wagers may not exceed $100. Before the cards are dealt, these spots can be cleared by pressing them and holding for a brief moment.
The remaining three areas cannot exceed 3x the amount of the original ante. Tapping each of these spots will increase the wager by the amount of the original ante. Tapping a fourth time will clear that wager. These spots, too, can be cleared by pressing them and holding for a brief moment.
In all cases, when the maximum for a spot has been reached, tapping on the spot an additional time will reset the wager to zero.
Dealing Cards
Cards are dealt by pressing the Deal button. This button becomes enabled when the Player has placed the wagers that are required for a stage of the game.
The five cards (2 Player cards and 3 Community cards) can be dealt after an ante and any optional bonus wagers have been placed. Each of the Community cards can be shown after a wager has been placed on the corresponding spot for the wager round. If multiple spots are wagered during a single round, the corresponding number of Community cards will be revealed.
Folding
Players may fold at any point in the game by pressing the Fold button. Folding forfeits whatever has been wagered for Mississippi Stud and reveals all of the Community cards. If a Player Folds and has wagered the optional 3 Card Poker Bonus, they will still be paid if a qualifying 3 Card Poker hand is made from the three Community cards.
Winning the Bonuses
Each of the three optional bonuses are paid based on different criterion. If they are wagered, they are paid if they qualify based on what is shown in the Payout Table that can be found in these instructions and by tapping on the board logo.
Quick Replay
The hand ends after all Community cards have been revealed. The final Community card is revealed once a 5th Street wager has been placed and the Player has pressed the Deal button OR when the Player opts to end the hand by pressing the Fold button.
After a hand completes, if the Player presses the Deal button, a new hand will be dealt and the same Ante and Bonus wagers from the preceding hand will be made and a new set of cards will be dealt.
If the Player does not want to repeat the last set of wagers, play will resume when the Player has adjusted the Ante & Bonus wagers and pressed the Deal button.
