Singapore Stud

The new Sands Marina casino that just opened in Singapore has a new table game called, "Singapore Stud Poker" does anyone have information on the rules and odds regarding this new mystery game?

I don't, but would interested to see them.

From what little information I can find Singapore Stud is a new card game designed by Marina Bay Sands especially for Singapore. Source

The casino was due to open today (April 27th) so more information may be available soon.

Game rules are here (bottom of page) .

The game is EXACTLY the same as Caribbean Stud with the Lucky Player, Lucky Dealer, and Magic Card variant that you see at Ballys and other properties on the strip.

Thanks boymimbo. Wish I knew where to look for stuff like that! Nice work hunting it out so quick.

Thanks! Yup, looks like Caribbean Stud, except the royals pays 250 instead of 100. I still don't know the probability of those lucky player awards, so have held off on analyzing that bet.

Actually I found some material here and here.

From Question 12 of the FAQ, the house edge for the Lucky Player, Dealer, and Lucky Card are all settable by the Casino. So, I think each casino has the ability to set their own edge.

DEQ's website also states that Singapore Sands ordered 33 of their G3 units, some of which would operate the Singapore Stud games.

Singapore Stud's HA is 5.199% because the Royal pays 250 instead of 100.
