Description:
This unique and popular form of online poker is even more exciting when you play for huge Progressive jackpots!

Rules:
The Progressive Island Stud Poker game at the Casino conforms to the standard Nevada Gaming Commission rules.

In Progressive Island Stud Poker it's you against the dealer! The game is played on a table that resembles a Blackjack table. The table has marked places for your 'ANTE' bets and your Progressive Bets. Initial wagers are placed in the circles marked 'ANTE' and if you think your hand will beat the dealer's hand you can place an additional bet that is double your ante bet. Prior to dealing cards, you can place Progressive bets on any hand for which you have placed an 'ANTE' bet.

Progressive Island Stud Poker is played using six 52-card decks that are shuffled after each hand is played. At this Casino there are 5 playing positions you can choose from and you can play up to 5 hands of Island Stud Poker at the same time. Each hand played is a separate wager against the dealer.

After placing an 'ANTE' bet and, if the option is chosen, a progressive bet, each of the player's hands is dealt five cards face up. The Dealer is also dealt five cards but only one card is face up. Based on the strength of your hand and on the value of the dealer's face up card you must decide whether to increase your bet to maximize your winnings ('CALL') - or 'FOLD' to minimize your losses.

In Progressive Island Stud Poker, no additional cards are dealt. The player and the dealer compare hands formed from their five cards.

Objective:
The goal of the player is to beat the dealer's poker hand. If the player places a progressive bet on the hand, the player wins the appropriate share of the progressive pot even if the dealer's hand wins.

In Progressive Island Stud Poker, the dealer's hand must contain at least one ace and one king in order to qualify. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, you receive 1 to 1 on your ante and your bet is returned to you without winnings.

If the dealer's hand does qualify with a value of at least one ace and one king, the best hand wins. Your winning hand receives 1 to 1 on the ante plus the winnings on your bet calculated according to the winnings table.

If you fold you lose your ante, whether or not the dealer qualifies.

If both the dealer's and player's hands tie, the party with the next highest-ranking card is the winner. If there is an absolute tie, the player gets all their money back.

You always win on your progressive bet, even if the dealer does not qualify.


Tips:
· You can place a Progressive Bet whenever the progressive bet slot is rotating. You know that you have placed a Progressive Bet when there is an "ANTE" bet on the hand and the progressive bet slot is not rotating.
