The buy-in for all 7-card Stud games is generally 10 times the minimum bet. In an 8 or Better game, if there is no low, the high hand wins the entire pot. In either case, the bet on the fourth card is the smaller bet.
In a 'no-qualifier' game, the Razz (7-Card Low- ball) rules apply. If there is a qualifier, the betting rules are like 7-Card Stud, where the high hand bets first. In most games, however, in order to win the low hand, the player must have an 8-low or better. The best high hand splits the pot with the best low hand. This is another variation of 7-Card Stud where there can be two winners. In all 7-Card games, a bet and three raises are allowed. If there is an open pair on the fourth card, the players have the option of making the small or larger bet. $3-6, the smaller bet is made on the first two betting rounds and the larger bet is made after the fifth, sixth and seventh cards are delivered. All 7-Card Stud games at Parkwest Bicycle Casino have structured betting. There is a round of betting, then three more upcards are delivered (with betting after each round), then a final downcard and a final round of betting. You are delivered two down cards and one upcard. 7-Card Stud is played with a 52-card deck.
