In basic casino online games, each player is dealt his or her cards in a face-down position. A number of cards are also dealt face up. The face-down cards are only to be seen by the player to which they are dealt. On the other hand, the face-up cards can be seen by all players at the table.

A basic seven-card stud begins with a the dealing of two cards facing down to every player in the game. One face-up card is dealt up to each player. The first round is opened by the player with the highest face-up card. After the first round, each player receives an additional face-up card. An additional face-up card is dealt following each round.

For each betting round, the player with the best face-up hand opens the round. To understand how this works, consider a player who has a Pair in view, while the other players all have mismatched cards showing. The player with the face-up Pair is allowed to open the round of betting. Out of the total of seven cards dealt, each player choose the five cards that form the most advantageous hand.
