Why Split’em?:

Split’em Stud was designed to combine the fun elements of two successful poker games while solving the problems holding them back.

Pai Gow Poker

It takes the fun player decision of splitting cards used in Pai Gow Poker, simplifies it to speed up the game, and adds some monster payouts that Pai Gow was missing. Not only is splitting cards a fun decision, it also gives player some control over their outcome, which is missing in most casino games.

Mississippi Stud

Split’em Stud may also remind you of Mississippi Stud, the paytables are virtually identical. The goal was to bring the big payouts offered in Mississippi Stud, while reducing the high fold and low-hit frequency found in that game. In Split’em Stud the player should play the vast majority of hands, and will hit higher paying hands more frequently than any other poker game on the market due to the favorable splitting mechanism and ability to play multiple hands at once.
