Mississippi Stud is a poker-based table game played against the paytable rather than against the dealer or other players. Each player starts with a mandatory Ante, is dealt two cards face down, and then decides in three separate rounds -- as community cards are revealed one at a time -- whether to add to their bet or fold and walk away from the hand. It's become a mainstay of casino table-game pits over the past couple of decades, valued for a rule set that's simple to learn but still leaves room for real decision-making on every street.
Play starts with every player placing an Ante bet. Two cards are dealt face down to each player, and three community cards are dealt face up to the table in stages -- often called 3rd Street, 4th Street, and 5th Street. After each new community card is revealed, every player still in the hand chooses to either bet more (typically between one and three times their original Ante) or fold and forfeit the Ante. By the time all five cards are visible, each player is building the best five-card poker hand they can from their two hole cards plus the three community cards.
Mississippi Stud doesn't use a dealer hand to beat -- instead, every player's final hand is measured against a fixed paytable, so multiple players (or none) can win on the same round. The paytable sets a minimum qualifying hand, generally starting around a pair in the mid-to-high range, with payouts climbing from there up through a Royal Flush at the top of the table. Whatever multiplier the final hand earns applies evenly across every unit wagered -- the Ante plus any Street bets still in play -- which is part of why betting decisions at each street matter so much to the overall payout.
Mississippi Stud sits in a category of modern proprietary table games designed to feel approachable to poker-curious players without requiring real poker skill against opponents -- there's no bluffing or reading other players, since you're only ever playing against a fixed paytable. That combination of low complexity and repeated in-hand decisions (fold, bet 1x, 2x, or 3x, three separate times) has made it one of the more successful non-banked table games to spread widely across US casinos over the past fifteen-plus years.
