Caribbean Stud Poker

Caribbean poker is played with a deck of 52 cards. In order to participate in the game, you must first place an “ante bet” plus an optional $1 bonus bet. You are then dealt a hand of 5 cards, all of them face up. (Although your cards are dealt face up, the cards of other players will appear to be dealt face down.) The dealer also receives 5 cards; 4 cards dealt face down and 1 card face up. In Caribbean Stud Poker, the player and the dealer compare hands formed from their five cards. No additional cards are dealt.

The Caribbean Stud Poker offers players the chance to participate in a progressive jackpot game by placing an optional $1 bonus bet.

When you have looked at your cards and the dealer’s up card, you must decide whether to challenge the dealer’s hand with a bet or to fold. If you wish to challenge the dealer, you must place a bet by pressing the BET button. The bet is always equal to twice the ante. If you do not wish to challenge the dealer’s hand, you must opt to press SURRENDER and lose your ante.

When you receive a good hand, you will naturally wish to place a bet to challenge the dealer’s hand. When the bet has been placed, the dealer reveals his 4 remaining cards and the hands are compared.

The Dealer Must Qualify

If the dealer’s hand does qualify with a value of at least 1 ace + 1 king, the best hand wins. Your winning hand receives 1 to 1 on the ante plus the winnings on your bet, which are calculated according to the winnings table.

Push

When the dealer and the player receive poker hands of equal value (i.e. a push game), both the ante and the bet are returned to the player.
