Additional wagers such as Hole Card Bonus, Player Bonus and 5 Card Stax Progressive. Each player is then dealt two cards face-down. The dealer also receives two cards facedown.

After examining their cards, the player may place a Play wager equal to three or four times the Ante (3× – 4×), or else check. Three cards are then dealt face up as community cards. If the player has not placed an Play wager, then they may now place a Play wager equal to twice the Ante (2×), or else check.

If the player has already placed a Play wager, no further action is required or allowed. Two more cards are dealt face-up as community cards.
