Stud Poker

Possibly the most well-known poker game in the world, Seven Card Stud is a classic poker game which can take a lifetime to master. In Seven Card Stud, players are dealt seven cards throughout the course of the hand, but only the best five-card poker hand possible for each player is used to determine the winner.

Broadly speaking, poker hands rank as follows; Royal Flush (5 running cards to the ace all of which are the same suite), Straight Flush (5 running cards of the same suite), Four of a Kind, Full House (3 matching cards combined with 2 other matching cards), Flush (5 cards of the same suite), Straight (5 runnings cards), Three of a Kind, Two Pairs, a Pair and finally high card.

The 2006 James Bond Movie Casino Royal  reinforces Texas Hold’Em as the gamblers choice, replacing James Bond’s traditional game of choice Baccarat, which was played in all previous James Bond movies. Fortunes were won & lost at Baccarat. Today however, the highest stakes to be wagered in any casino game worldwide belong to those players at the Texas Hold’Em tables, who chance all in the game commonly known as the Aston Martin of Poker.
