Casino stud poker is played with a pack of 52 cards. The player plays against the bank. The initial bet is placed on the "ante" square. Five cards are given to each player as well as to the bank, face down, except for the bank's fifth card, wich is uncovered. Once their set is known, the players decide: to bid higher, they then place on the "higher bid" square twice as much as the original bet, to abandon, they then lose their bet. The bank's cards are then uncovered. In order for the bank to qualify, it must have a minimum of ace and king. Otherwise, the cruopier announces "the bank is not qualifies" and pays equally the bets placed on the "ante".
