5 card Stud Poker :
Five Card Stud poker is similar to 5 card draw and 7 card stud. You only get five cards as in draw, but you never get a chance to replace any cards to improve your hand. Like in seven card stud you get a hole card & usually 4 open cards for everyone to see. The problem here is most people play that the last card is a community card and therefore only have one hole card. This means that with no chance to replace cards there is a chance the winning hand is often a pair or sometimes it is even just a high card.

Let it Ride Card Poker :
Let It Ride Poker is a variation of standard poker, except that the Player plays against the house and does not compete against the Dealer or other Players. Let It Ride poker is dealt from a single deck of 52 cards. The Player is dealt three cards face up and two cards are dealt face down to the dealer – these are community cards that are used to complete the player’s hand. The objective of the game is to get any winning poker hand consisting of a pair of 10’s or higher.

After placing the Ante bet, the Player decides whether or not he wants to Raise the original bet (by the same amount as the original bet), or Continue without a Raise to the next round of play. Once the Player decides to Raise or Continue, the Dealer’s first card will be shown. Now the Player has another opportunity to Raise or Continue. If he decides to Raise, the bet will again increase by the original bet amount. After the Player Raises or Continues, the Dealer’s last card is shown.

After the Dealer’s last card is shown, the Player’s hand is evaluated as a normal poker hand, combining the Player’s three cards and the Dealer’s two cards

Pai Gow Poker :
Pai gow poker is a recent addition to the casinos, and is one of many games that has an Asian origin. A combination of the Chinese game of pai gow (meaning makes nine) and the American game of poker, this game of skill offers players a reasonable chance to win.

In this version of poker, players are not wagering against each other but against the bank, and unlike the original Asian version which is played with dominoes, pai gow poker is played with a deck of cards. The object of the game is for the player to hold two hands of cards that rank higher than the banker's two hands.

Played around a special pai gow table, the table has room for the dealer and six players. The house initially assumes the role of the bank with the dealer as the banker, and then the position moves around from player to player. The role of banker can be declined by any player, and passed on to the next person in line. The role of banker is indicated with a chung that is set in front of that player's area. When the dealer is not the banker, he/she plays the hand as a player.
