Hello!
Recently I found a casino with a variation of the Caribbean Stud, where you can switch up to 1 card if you wish (at the price of 1 ante bet).
After you pick a card, you can still fold your hand.
The rest of the rules are the same as the regular Caribbean Stud. This is the tabulation with the payments: Ante 1:1
Bet (if the dealer has AK or better hand) Bonus bet you can put it only if you want to, and it costs 1 Euro. (This bet is being paid even if there's no game)

Royal Flush - 100:1
Straight Flush - 50:1
Four of a Kind - 20:1
Full House - 7:1
Flush - 5:1
Straight - 4:1
Three of a Kind - 3:1
Two Pairs - 2:1
One Pair - 1:1

Bonus bet you can put it only if you want to, and it costs 1 Euro. (This bet is being paid even if there's no game)

Royal Flush - 5000 Euro
Straight Flush - 1000 Euro
Four of a Kind - 300 Euro
Full House - 150 Euro
Flush - 100 Euro

The tablation for paying the bonus bet is valid only if the hand is served; if the bet is made after you switch up a card - the bonus is only 50%.
The limits of the bets are: bonus- 1 euro; ante - min. 10 euro, max 100 euro, bet 20-200 euro. The maximum profit of 1 hand is limited to 5000 Euro.
6 players are allowed on a table.
The big advantage is that all the players can look at each other's hand, which bascially means that the players can build-up a strategy, knowing 31 cards.
As far as I know, under normal circumstances, the casino has about 5% advantage over you.
So my question is: Can the Casino be beaten with 6 players playing together deliberately?

The name of the actual game being played is "Oasis Poker", and you have the standard paayouts. This indicates a House Advantage upon the Ante Bet off 1.04% and 0.475% upon the Average bet (includes proper raising). Interesting that "collusion" is allowed... The Wizard has not calculated the effect, but considering the small disadvantage, it can be reletively large. Lets say in general 1/3%. This would knock down the House Advantage, but not give the Player an edge. Consider the Ante Bet to have a 0.7% House Advantage, and the Average Bet to be 0.32% H. A.

This is most likely a better game than Blackjack, and maybe even better than Craps in Europe.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.
