Asian Stud — a casino-style table game similar to five-card stud poker, but using a stripped deck and a unique scoring system where players compete against the house rather than each other.
Explanation. Asian Stud is dealt with a 32‑card deck (usually removing the 2s through 6s) and sometimes includes a joker that acts as a wild card or ace. Players receive cards and may fold, check, call, or raise based on a custom scoring system, not standard poker hand rankings. The objective is to form a strong four-card poker-style hand (e.g. totals close to 9 with a kicker) to beat the dealer’s hand; typical poker values are adapted and a flush often ranks above a full house due to deck composition.
