Play Double Down Stud Poker Online for Free

Double Down Stud Poker is a simplified version of Let It Ride. In this game, the house edge is only 2.67%.

The game takes place at a semi-circular gambling table and 2 boxes for each player’s bets. Double Down is often played at the Caribbean Stud table. All players play against the online casino. If there are several players at the gambling table, they do not have the right to show their cards to each other.

Players place an initial ante bet. The player’s cards and all community cards are treated as a single poker hand, and if they made any prize combo, the dealer pays the player the prize money, otherwise, the player loses his all bets.

Rules

A regular deck containing 52 cards is used. The cards are shuffled before each new game. All players make their own combinations by connecting their card with 4 community cards. The dealer only deals cards to players, shuffles the deck, collects lost money, and pays out winnings.

Before the start of a new game, all players make bets – ante. The dealer deals one card to each player and places 4 community cards. Each player must decide whether to stand or double the initial ante bet, that is, play a double down. The dealer considers the player’s card and 4 community cards separately as a combination of 5 cards. If the player’s combination is less than a pair of 6, then the player loses the ante and double down if it was made. If the player has a pair of 6-10, then a draw is declared – a push, and all the bets are returned to the player. If the player has a pair of jacks, then he wins 1:1 on all his bets. If the player has 2 pairs or a higher combination, the winnings are paid according to the prize payout table.
