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 folds.
- The Dealer qualifies
and has a higher 5-card poker hand.
