This is a classic game in which the player tries to draw to 21, or closer to 21, than the dealer, without going over (busting). Each player is dealt two cards face up, and then is allowed to hit (take another card) or stay (play that hand). The dealer starts with two cards as well, but one is face up and the other face down. Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10, and Aces are worth 1 or 11 (player’s choice). Receiving an Ace and a 10 on your first two cards is the lucrative hand known as “blackjack.” Additional bets like “splitting” and “doubling down” are also available on certain hands.

In Cajun Stud, a five-card player hand is revealed gradually. At three decision points along the way, the player may either raise their Ante bet by on to three times or fold.

The player may raise their bet one time and has three opportunities to do so. The earlier they raise, the more money they can bet. The main differences between Heads Up Hold’em and Ultimate Texas Hold’em are in the former player may raise 3X their Ante bet before the flop, but the game includes bad beat bonuses for losing with a straight or higher.
