Rules of Caribbean Stud Poker
Caribbean Stud Poker has rapidly become one of the most popular casino games, second only to traditional poker. Once rare, it’s now a staple in most casinos and widely available online.
Why Caribbean Stud Poker is Popular
The game’s popularity stems from its simplicity and social aspect. While enjoyable solo, the excitement peaks with a full table of enthusiastic players.
Game Overview
To dive into the game, let’s walk through the basic rules. If you’re a complete beginner, there’s another article on this site that covers the fundamentals.
Getting Started
1. Place Your Ante: Start by placing an ante bet, say $5.
2. Decide to Play or Fold: After receiving your cards, evaluate them to decide whether to fold or continue. If you choose to play, you must double your ante and move this amount to the bet area. For example, with a $5 ante, your bet would be $10, totaling $15 on the table.
Winning the Game
You’re up against the dealer only. The dealer must have a hand ranking of Ace-King or better to qualify. If the dealer doesn’t qualify, your ante bet pays even money, and your main bet is returned to you.
If the dealer qualifies and you have a better hand, here’s how payouts work:
- One Pair or Nothing: Even money
- Two Pair: 2:1
- Three of a Kind: 3:1
- Straight: 4:1
- Flush: 5:1
- Full House: 7:1
- Four of a Kind: 20:1
- Straight Flush: 50:1
- Royal Flush: 100:1
Note that these odds apply to your bet wager only. If you join the $1 progressive jackpot, you can receive additional payouts for a flush or better.
Example Hand
Let’s explore a sample scenario:
- Initial Bets: You place a $10 ante and a $1 progressive jackpot bet.
- You Hold a Flush: Naturally, you’ll want to stay in, so you place a $20 bet.
- Calculate Winnings: The dealer shows two pairs, so you win. Your $10 ante pays even money, and your $20 bet pays $100 (5:1 odds), resulting in $110 in winnings. Plus, the progressive jackpot bonus applies.
The progressive jackpot details will be discussed in another article.
