The dealer collects all losing wagers and pays all winning wagers after each community card is revealed. After the third community card is revealed, the dealer member collects losing wagers and pays winning wagers in all betting and wagering areas as mentioned after the first two community cards plus the wagers covered by the 5-card stud showdown payout table, the 3-card community betting area, and the 5-card jackpot betting area. After all wagers are paid, all chips and cards are collected, another round of the method of card playing in a casino can start.
