How to Play

Oasis Poker is Caribbean Stud with a reload. At Betarama, you get five cards and see one of the dealer's. Do not like your hand? Swap out the weak spots — one card, two cards, as many as you want. Each swap costs one Ante, but a smart exchange can flip a losing hand into a paying one.

After exchanges, the decision is classic: Raise for double the Ante or Fold. The dealer needs Ace-King to qualify. No qualification means your Ante pays 1:1 and the Raise pushes. When they qualify and your hand is stronger, the Raise pays on a scale from 1:1 up to 100:1 for a Royal Flush. The exchange mechanic is what separates Oasis from Caribbean Stud — it rewards players who can spot the value in a near-miss hand.

The math is straightforward: each swap costs one Ante, so exchanging three cards triples your pre-decision investment. That means the improvement has to be significant to justify the cost. Four to a Flush or an open-ended Straight draw? Those are the spots where the exchange shines. Swapping three cards on a long shot? The fee usually outweighs the expected return. Smart exchanges make Oasis Poker one of the more skill-rewarding poker originals in the collection.

Side Bets

The 5+1 Bonus evaluates six cards: your five original dealt cards plus the dealer's up-card. The side bet locks in before any exchange, so card swaps do not affect it. A hand that looks weak for the main game might still contain a strong 5+1 Bonus combination when the dealer's card is included.

5+1 Bonus

Six cards evaluated: your 5 dealt cards plus the dealer's up-card. Best poker hand from the 6 determines the payout. Evaluated before any exchange. Royal Flush = 1000:1.

The independence between the side bet and the exchange creates interesting dynamics. You can swap cards aggressively to improve the main hand while the 5+1 Bonus has already locked in a payout from the original deal. Both the main hand and the side bet can pay on the same round from different card combinations.

Millionaire Mode

Add a $1 side bet for a shot at $1,000,000. Seven cards are evaluated for the spade straight flush: 8♠ 9♠ 10♠ J♠ Q♠ K♠ A♠. Your 5 cards plus the dealer's up-card plus 1 bonus card drawn from the deck = 7 cards evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Oasis Poker different from Caribbean Stud?

One word: exchange. Before you Raise or Fold, you can swap out any cards for a fee of one Ante per card. This turns marginal hands into contenders and gives you more control over the outcome.

What does the 5+1 Bonus pay?

Royal Flush 1000:1, Straight Flush 200:1, Four of a Kind 100:1, Full House 20:1, Flush 15:1, Straight 10:1, Three of a Kind 7:1. Evaluated on your original dealt cards before any exchange.

How does the Millionaire Mode side bet work?

A $1 bet evaluates 7 cards for the spade straight flush (8 through Ace). Your 5 cards, the dealer's up-card, and 1 bonus card. Seven hits pays $1,000,000.

Is the card exchange worth it?

When you are close to a big hand (4 to a flush, open-ended straight), the exchange can be highly valuable. Each swap costs one Ante, so the math needs to work in your favour.

Can I swap all 5 cards?

Yes. You can exchange any number of cards from 1 to 5. Each swap costs one Ante. The more cards you swap, the higher the exchange cost, but there is no restriction on how many.

Is the game provably fair?

Yes. The entire deck is SHA-256 locked before the deal. Exchange cards are drawn from pre-determined positions. The server seed is revealed after each hand.
