Like all stud poker variations, Mississippi stud deals players a mix of facedown and face-up cards throughout multiple betting rounds. It is a non-positional game, meaning that the player who bets first on each round can change from round to round. Mississippi stud is, unsurprisingly, most commonly played in Mississippi casinos. Mississippi Stud is a table game played like a shortened version of Texas hold'em. Each player makes an ante bet and is dealt two cards, face down. These cards are kept secret from other players. After looking at their cards, players may fold and wait for the next hand to be dealt, or they can make a wager in the first circle, marked '3rd Street.'

  • How to Play

Mississippi Stud is a poker-based table game where wins are based on the player’s final five-card hand. The skill is in determining how much to raise or fold as the cards are revealed. Find this exciting carnival game on the Dreamcatcher side of the Casino near The Grand Lobby.

How it works: Simply place the optional $1 progressive side bet before the deal for the chance to win a portion of—or possibly the entire—jackpot.

The progressive wager pays when a player holds a three-of-a-kind or higher. And if you’re lucky enough to hold a royal flush, you’ll win 100% of the pot! Even the other players at a major jackpot-winning table will walk away with something substantial (if they’ve placed the progressive wager); a Royal Flush or Straight Flush awards an Envy bonus of $1,000 or $300, respectively.

This wager is your chance to play for more money—and to win more often! Ask a table games floor supervisor or dealer for additional information or qualifications.
