Mississippi Stud is a casino table game, not a multi-player form of poker. It is based upon stud poker though. The way it works is that each player antes and is dealt two cards. Then, three community cards are placed facedown in the middle of the table. Before each community card is turned over, each player may fold or make a bet of any amount between 1x and 3x the ante. Then the next community card is revealed. There are thus three additional opportunities during each hand to increase the stakes. After the final middle card is shown, the players collect winnings based upon the final strength of their five-card poker hands. A pair of 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, or Ts pushes while the minimum winning hand is a pair of Js, which rewards the player 1:1. The highest winning hand is a royal flush, which pays 500:1. Hands worse than 66 lose. The house edge on the initial wager is 4.91%: not especially good for a table game. However, because there's frequent raising in this game, the more appropriate figure to use is the element of risk, which is 1.37%: not bad at all. This does depend, of course, on learning and following the correct strategy.
