Caribbean
Stud Poker is a 5 card poker game where the objective is to have
a stronger poker hand then the dealer. The game is dealt from a
standard 52 card deck. Before the game starts, the player is required
to make an ante bet with an optional $1 side bet for the progressive
jackpot (if you're playing progressive caribbean stud). When
all bets are placed the dealer deals five cards face up to all players
as well as the dealer. Only one of the dealer's cards is exposed,
and there are no more draws.
After the deal, the player has the option to fold or
press on. If the player folds, the ante is lost. If the player continues
he must make a call bet which is always double the amount of the
ante. After everyone at the table has either folded or called, the
dealer shows his cards and the consequences are as follows: |
| |
| Dealer
doesn't qualify |
| If
the dealer does not have a poker hand of Ace-King or better, he
does not qualify. In this case, all players who called their bets
(stayed in) are payed the amount of their initial ante. Even if
the player's hand does not qualify, the player still wins. |
| |
| Dealer
Qualifies, Player Loses |
| If
the dealer exposes a hand of Ace/King or higher, and is higher
than the players hand, the player loses the ante and the
call bet. |
| |
| Dealer
Qualifies, Player Wins |
| If
the dealer exposes a hand of Ace/King or higher, but is lower than
the players hand, the player recieves double the ante, and double
the call bet. Check the below charts for the corresponding payouts
to significantly strong player hands: |
