Oasis Poker is a variation of Caribbean Stud Poker that permits discards for a fee. I've only seen the game 💋 with Net Entertainment, VueTec, and Gale Wind softwares. The game's low house edge makes it a useful option when blackjack 💋 and multi-hand video poker are not available.

Standard Rules and Play (Net Ent)

After placing a bet, the player and dealer are 💋 dealt a 5-card poker hand. Only 1 of the dealer's 5 cards is visible. At this point, the player can 💋 choose to discard one or more of his cards. For each discard, the player is charged a fee that is 💋 equal to the size of the ante bet. After making a discard selection and getting replacement cards, play is identical 💋 to Caribbean Stud Poker. The player must choose to either fold and lose the hand or raise. The raise bet 💋 must be 2x the ante bet size, so the total bet following a raise is 3x the initial bet size. 💋 If the player raises, then there are several possible payouts.

-If the dealer has an Ace and King or better (for 💋 example A,K,7,6,5), the dealer "qualifies." If the dealer does not qualify (regardless of whether the player wins or loses the 💋 hand), then winnings on the ante bet are paid and the raise bet is returned.
