Oasis Poker

How to Play

Oasis Poker is like Caribbean Stud with one powerful extra move: before you decide to raise or fold, you can swap out up to five of your cards. Each swap costs you one Ante bet per card, but it means you can improve a bad hand or strengthen a good one. It adds a whole extra layer of decisions that most poker games don't have.

1. Place your starting bet (Ante) and any side bets you want before cards are dealt.
2. You get five cards face up; the dealer gets five cards with one showing.
3. If you want to improve your hand, swap 1–5 cards — each swap costs one extra Ante.
4. Decide to raise (double your Ante) or fold.
5. The dealer reveals their hand. They need at least Ace-King to play.
6. If the dealer doesn't have Ace-King, your Ante wins and your Raise gets returned. If they do qualify, the better hand wins the pot.

Millionaire Mode, Win $1,000,000

Millionaire Mode is a $1 side bet added on top of your regular Oasis Poker bet. Your main payouts are unaffected.

Each round runs six independent strips. Hit all six and you win $1,000,000. Fewer hits still pay: 5 = $30,000, 4 = $800, 3 = $30, 2 = $3, 1 returns the dollar, 0 loses it.

The jackpot is always ready. Every $1 ticket is a full attempt at the headline figure.

Turn it on, play your main bet (at least $1), and every round runs in parallel with the Royal Spades draw.

Tips & Tricks

The card exchange is what makes Oasis Poker unique, and knowing when to use it is the most important skill in the game. A simple rule: only swap cards if you're one card away from a flush or straight. Swapping for anything less than that usually isn't worth the extra cost.

When you're not thinking about exchanges, the raise/fold decision works just like Caribbean Stud. Pair or better? Always raise. Nothing useful? Fold. Ace-King with a matching dealer up card? Lean toward raising. These basics won't give you perfect play, but they'll keep you in good shape most of the time.

Watch your Ante spending carefully. Every card you swap costs an extra Ante, and those costs add up fast. A hand where you swap three cards and then fold has cost you four Antes with nothing to show for it. Be selective — exchange when the improvement is clear and the cost is justified.

It's a good habit to play Oasis Poker at a slightly lower Ante than you'd normally use for Caribbean Stud. The exchange option increases your total risk per hand, so giving yourself a bit more budget flexibility keeps sessions comfortable even when the exchanges don't pay off.

Is It Fair?

Oasis Poker on WickedBet is fully provably fair. The cards in your initial deal and any cards you exchange are all determined by the same cryptographic seed combination locked in before the hand begins. Even the replacement cards from an exchange are part of the original mathematically determined sequence — nothing is generated on the fly to disadvantage you.

After your session you can verify every hand including every exchange by checking the revealed server seed against the committed hash. The full card sequence — your cards, the dealer's cards, and all exchange draws — can be reconstructed and confirmed. It's complete transparency on every deal and every swap.

Your client seed influences every hand and exchange in the session. You can change it at any time via the fairness panel, which simultaneously ends the current server seed session and triggers its reveal. It's a clean, auditable hand-off that keeps the verification chain intact and under your control.
