These are round numbers because my method was approximate for one category of player hands: when the player has a suited High-Medium hand such as Ah-6h. 1st community card is a 5 House Edge =55% 1st community card is a 2, 3 or 4 (all other cards are random) House Edge =57% In these calculations I assumed that all player hands are dealt randomly and that the 2nd and 3rd community cards are random, but that the first community card is known (or controlled.) I assume that all players follow the WOO site strategy.

So, I wondered: What happens to the mathematical House Edge if the shuffler software is changed to (occasionally) control the rank of the very first community card to be turned over?Ĭalculations Remember: the theoretical Mississippi Stud House Edge = 4.9% (4.9149%) with perfect play. Now the automated shuffler clearly knows that the first three cards are the community cards i.e., there are no ambiguities arising from how many players are at the table when identifying the community cards.

When I raised this issue in the WOV forum, the responses seemed to indicated that this change in the shuffler sequence for dealing Miss Stud cards had not occurred in Vegas or other state regulated casinos The automated shuffler software has indeed been changed (presumably by the manufacturer.) Significant change? Who knows? Probably not. Now, the shuffler device deals a 3-card packet first for the Miss Stud community cards and then two card packets are dealt for the player cards. Stud automated shuffler formerly dealt two card packets with the first ones corresponding to the player hands, and then dealt two 2-card packets corresponding to the community cards (with a burn card, I recall.) Recently, this order of dealing has changed at my local Casino.

But I will explain how the House Edge at Miss Stud can be increased - so that players in third world casinos and self-regulated Indian casinos at least know what to look for.īackground At my local Indian casino, the Miss. Let me say that I am not claiming that that any casino is cheating at Miss Stud.
