Bonus Six poker is a 5 card poker game with a sixth card as the bonus card. As in five-card stud poker the player gets cards one at a time and must keep raising with each additional card dealt to stay in otherwise he or she must fold.

The added bonus in this game is that the player can choose to buy Insurance at the start of the hand. If the player does buy insurance initially he or she then has the option to buy a sixth card at the end should he or she need one following the fifth and last card.

The game is played with a single deck of 52 cards, and is shuffled after every hand. Before any cards are dealt, each player begins by placing a bet, which is the Ante bet. At this stage, before the dealing of cards, the player may also buy insurance (for the bonus sixth card) at the cost of half the ante bet. The payment for the insurance option is not a bet or part of a wager and cannot be won or reclaimed.

To begin play, each player is dealt two cards face down and one community card is dealt face up on the table. All players may use the community card as part of their hand.

Having received the first two cards and using the community card (a three-card hand so far) the player now must decide to either stay in and raise the bet or fold. If the player folds he forfeits his ante. If the player wants to stay in and raise his or her bet, they must add to their wager an amount equal to the ante.
