INTRODUCTION
SG Gaming’s Mississippi Stud Poker is an online casino table that’s been rapidly gaining popularity recently. The gameplay experience more closely resembles blackjack than poker, in fact. Rather than trying to beat the house, you’re trying to form any winning hand from the paytable. All of this is happening on a sleek green table, with some of the best graphics and animations yet!
The RTP for this game is 98.63%, assuming perfect play. It’s played with one deck, which is reshuffled after every round. No card counting here! This SG Gaming release has only one side bet, which is the Three Card bonus. This means you can score a win with a three-card hand, not just a five-hand one in the main bet.
HOW TO PLAY MISSISSIPPI STUD POKER
Right away, you’ll notice there’s no dealer or opponent to play against. We have two of our own cards, and three community cards, dubbed the 3rd, 4th and 5th street. Choose one of your coins and place them on the Ante. You can also place them on the Three Card bonus if you want to play that side-bet.
Once you pay the Ante, the computer will deal all cards. However, you only get to see the first two. You’re given the option to hit or fold; with hitting revealing another card. Players are able to bet the same value as the Ante, or double and even triple it! Alternatively, they can choose to fold and save themselves the costs.
How do you determine what step to take? Well, the end goal is to create the best five-card hand possible. You also want to at least have a pair of sixes, as that will result in a push, which means you get your money back. Any hand that’s weaker than that will be an outright loss, which means you’ll want to fold before that happens.
EXTRA FEATURES
SG Gaming’s Mississippi Stud Poker has one side bet: the Three Card bonus. It’s a side bet that’s perfectly suited for risk takers! To win this side bet, you need to get your three-card hand to show at least a pair. The better your hand, the more you win!
The game developer smartly decided to use the three community cards to determine the end result of the three-card hand. This means punters are far less likely to fold, in the hopes they might get a good side bet win. We’ve been on the receiving end on this system a few too many times. It feels amazing when you turn a certain loss into a mid-level win right as the final card is drawn!
PAYOUTS
In both cases, the strength of your hand determines your payout. For the main game, any combination below a pair of sixes is a loss, and means you lose money. Pairs of sixes to tens will push, which means you only get your money back. Then, with a pair of jacks or better, you start getting actual wins. The highest paying card combination in the main game is the Royal Flush, which pays 500:1.
In contrast, the Three Card bonus is much more lenient with its payouts. Any pair is good enough to pay. The downside is that its prizes are worth far less. A three-card hand Royal Flush will only pay 50:1. We quite like the side bet payouts. They’re just enticing enough to get you to risk your main bet and play your hand to the end.
