Lucky Stud Draw Poker

Introduction

Lucky Stud Draw Poker offers a unique twist on classic video poker, combining one draw hand with five stud hands. Winning stud hands can increase multipliers for hands below them on the screen, with the draw hand positioned at the bottom, allowing for a maximum multiplier of 5x.

In this game, players have no influence over the stud hands, as they are dealt from distinct decks. Therefore, the gameplay strategy remains consistent with traditional video poker, tailored to the specific draw poker rules and pay table. I first encountered this game at the Palace Station in Las Vegas on May 31, 2017, near an Irish pub.

Rules

1. To play, bets must be made in increments of ten coins, which are distributed across the five hands of poker. The outcome for each hand is calculated based on a single coin bet.
2. The five poker hands are displayed in a vertical lineup, with the draw poker hand located at the bottom.
3. Once a bet is placed, players receive five cards for the draw poker hand and are prompted to keep the cards they prefer while discarding the rest, similar to how traditional video poker is played.
4. After pressing the 'draw' button, four stud poker hands will be dealt above the draw hand, each originating from separate 52-card decks.
5. Starting from the topmost hand, each stud hand is evaluated according to the stud poker pay table. These hands all begin with a multiplier set at 1x.
6. If a stud poker hand results in a payout, the multipliers for all hands beneath it increase by one.
7. Eventually, the draw poker hand will receive its replacement card and be scored accordingly.

Below is an illustration of a sample set of pay tables for a variant called 7-5 Bonus Poker. Payouts are based on the coins wagered (excluding the additional coin needed for the multipliers) calculated with a maximum bet.

Example

In the example I provided, I wagered 50 credits, where 25 of these were allocated for the multiplier feature, leaving me with a bet of five credits for each hand. The scoring breakdown is as follows:

• Level 1: The top hand resulted in a pair, which pays 1x my bet. Since the multiplier starts at 1x for the top hand, I received 5×1×1 = 5 credits. Since I had a winning hand, all subsequent multipliers increased by one, totaling two.
• Level 2: The second hand showed two pairs, resulting in a payout of 3x my bet. As the multiplier now stood at 2x, I was awarded 5×2×3 = 30 credits. The multipliers continued to increase, giving a total of three for subsequent hands.
• Level 3: The third hand displayed a pair, with a payout of 1x my bet. The multiplier for this hand was 3x, so my earning was 5×3×1 = 15 credits. This led to a total of four for the following multipliers due to a winning hand.
• Level 4: Unfortunately, I got a weak hand with no winnings. Consequently, the multiplier for the level 5 hand remained at 4x since level 4 didn’t yield a win.
• Level 5: I was fortunate to have three of a kind in this hand, which pays 3x my wager. Given that three winning hands were above it, the multiplier reached 4x, resulting in a payoff of 5×4×3 = 60 credits.
• My total win was thus 5+30+15+0+60 = 110 credits.
