Kankakee
     
   
This is the Seven Card Stud version of Spit in the Ocean. The first card is dealt into the middle face up, is wild and is presumed to belong to all hands. After that the game proceeds as in Seven Card Stud except that only six cards are given to each player, the first two down, the next three up, and the final card down. Four of a kind is the average winning hand.

This is a variation of Cincinnati. Each player is dealt five cards as in Draw. Then ten cards are dealt face down in the center in two rows of five cards each. The center cards are turned up one at a time, the top row first, an interval of betting taking place after each card.

At the showdown a player may use any five cards from his own hand or from one of the "bedsprings" in the center. A bedspring is the two corresponding cards, one in the top row, one in the bottom. For instance, the first card in the top row and the first card in the other row form a bedspring. .
