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
- Place an Ante bet.
- You receive five cards face up. The dealer shows one card.
- Optionally swap 1 to 5 cards by paying a fee equal to the Ante per card swapped.
- Choose Call (2x Ante) or Fold.
- 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.
