Visitor vs AI 🎅🃏

Pick a bet: $10, $20, $50, or ALL IN. The game deals automatically, evaluates both hands, and shows the winner.

It’s 5-Card Stud (quick-play style): you place one bet, cards are dealt, then it’s showdown.

Cards deal one at a time, alternating Visitor then AI. The first two cards are face down (you’ll see the back image), and all cards are revealed at the end for the final result.

Both sides put in the same amount. The pot is 2× your bet. Your bet is automatically limited by your bankroll (you can’t bet more than you have).

AI keeps playing and can go into a negative bankroll (deficit). This is just for fun so play never stops.

Only if the Visitor reaches $0. Then both bankrolls reset to the starting amount and the shoe is rebuilt.

Standard rankings: Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card. Ties are broken by the appropriate high cards (“kickers”).

The game uses a multi-deck shoe (like casinos), so seeing the same card later is normal. When you see “Cut card reached — shuffling after this hand…”, the shoe will reshuffle after the current hand completes.

It performs a manual shuffle (using the discard pile + remaining cards) and clears the table. Your bankroll and AI’s deficit are preserved.
