How to Play Oasis Poker

Oasis Poker is a Caribbean Stud variant with one addition: before deciding to call or fold, you can swap one or more cards for a fee. This card exchange option can improve marginal hands and reduce the house edge compared to standard Caribbean Stud.

How to Play

  1. Place an Ante bet.
  2. You receive five cards face up. The dealer shows one card.
  3. Optionally swap 1 to 5 cards by paying a fee equal to the Ante per card swapped.
  4. Choose Call (2x Ante) or Fold.
  5. The dealer qualifies with Ace-King or better. Same payout structure as Caribbean Stud.

Card Exchange

  • Swapping costs 1x Ante per card. Swapping all five cards costs 5x Ante.
  • With optimal swap strategy, the house edge drops below Caribbean Stud's 5.2% to around 4.8%.

Millionaire Mode

An optional side bet. Qualifying hands pay from the Millionaire prize pool, up to $1,000,000.
