Video Stud Poker is played with only 5 cards. Upon placing a bet, the machine displays the first 4 cards that have been selected using the random number generator. The fifth card has also been selected, but it is not displayed. The player must decide whether to double down the amount of the original bet prior to seeing the 5th card, or the player can just press the draw button to reveal the 5th card. If the 5 cards result in a winning hand, then the player is paid in credit units depending on the type of winning hand and the amount of the wager.
