Caribbean Stud Poker Description
Caribbean Stud is a solo
version of the most popular card game, poker.
Caribbean Stud pits you, the player, against
the dealer. You are paid out according to the
rank of your poker hand. The better your hand,
the bigger your payout. Caribbean Stud also offers
a separate progressive jackpot bet for $1. If
you play the progressive and your hand qualifies,
you win big!
Caribbean Stud Poker is
a 5-card poker game played with a single deck
of 52 cards, where you play against the Dealer.
You place an Ante (initial bet), receive a hand,
and decide whether you would like to bet against
the Dealer's hand. One of the Dealer's cards
is dealt face up so your decision will have to
be made on the card showing and the strength
of your 5-card poker hand. At this point, you
may believe that you can't beat the Dealer and
you can simply fold. If you fold, you forfeit
your Ante. To bet against the Dealer, you must double your
Ante (click "Raise"). To win, you must not only
beat the Dealer's hand but the Dealer must also "qualify." The
Dealer qualifies by getting any hand containing
an Ace and a King or better (e.g. Pairs, etc).
If the Dealer does not qualify, you are paid
1 to 1 on your Ante and your "Raise" is returned
to you as a push. If your hand beats the Dealer's
hand and the Dealer qualifies, you're paid on
the Ante and your Raise. The payoff of the Ante
is 1 to 1. The payout on your bet will be determined
by the quality of your hand (see Payouts below
for more details). If the Dealer beats your hand,
you lose both your Ante and your bet. In the
event that you and the Dealer have the same hand,
the next highest card (kicker) determines the
winner.
Caribbean Stud Poker Rules
Caribbean
Stud uses a one deck shoe. If the dealer's
hand does not have a rank of an Ace-King or
higher, the dealer fails to qualify and the
game is over. Your bet is returned to you with
a winning of one times your ante. Your ante
is $20. Cards are dealt. You want to play your
hand so you click Raise. Your bet is double
your ante: $40. The dealer does not qualify.
Your $20 ante and $40 bet are returned to you.
You win one times your ante. You win $20. If
the dealer's hand qualifies, it is compared
to your hand. If the dealer's hand is higher,
you will lose both your ante and your bet.
If the dealer's hand is lower, you will receive
twice your ante and will be paid out on your
bet according to the payout schedule. The odds
that your winning hand pays out are shown on
the table top next to the betting circle.
If your hand and the dealer's
tie on rank, whoever has the next highest ranking
card is the winner. If there is an absolute tie,
you will get all your money back. Once the game
is over, you will have the chance to change your
ante and begin again. If you do not have enough
credits to ante or bet, you will receive a message
to inform you of this. You can then choose to
purchase more chips and continue to play.
The Player can win if:
- Ante - The Player has a higher 5-card poker
hand than the Dealers.
- If the Player Raises and the Dealer does
not qualify.
- Raise - The Player has a higher 5-card poker
hand and the Dealer has a minimum of an Ace/King.
- Progressive - If the Player places $1 in
the Jackpot slot, the Player receives a flush
or higher.
The Player loses if:
- The Player folds.
- The Dealer qualifies and has a higher 5-card
poker hand.
