Caribbean Stud Poker: How to Play
Overview
Discover how to play Caribbean Stud Poker, a rapidly popularizing table game in casinos worldwide, both online and offline.
What is Caribbean Stud Poker?
Unlike traditional poker games where players compete against each other, Caribbean Stud Poker pits you against the dealer. This game, inspired by five-card stud poker, aligns with games like Pai Gow Poker, Let It Ride, and Three Card Poker. Your goal is to form a stronger hand than the dealer. While it’s essential to know basic poker hand rankings, playing Caribbean Stud Poker is straightforward and enjoyable.
How to Play
Game Setup
1. Place Your Ante Bet: Start by placing your ante bet in the designated area. Make sure it matches the table minimum.
2. Side Bet Option: Decide whether to place an optional side bet for the progressive jackpot.
3. Dealing the Cards: The dealer gives each player five face-down cards and deals four face-down cards plus one face-up card to themselves.
Player Decisions
4. Evaluate Your Hand: After reviewing your cards, decide whether to fold or call.
- Fold: You lose your ante bet.
- Call: Place an additional bet, double your initial ante.
Dealer's Hand and Payouts
5. Dealer's Qualification: The dealer’s hand must have at least an Ace and a King to qualify.
- If Not Qualified: You receive your ante bet back, and the call bet is a push.
6. Compare Hands: If the dealer qualifies, hands are compared individually.
- Dealer Wins: You lose both ante and call bets.
- Player Wins: You receive even money for the ante and a paytable payout for the call.
- Tie: Both ante and call bets push.
Paytable Payouts (Varies by Casino)
- Straight Flush: 50:1
- Four of a Kind: 20:1
- Full House: 7:1
- Flush: 5:1
- Straight: 4:1
- Three of a Kind: 3:1
- Two Pairs: 2:1
- One Pair or Less: Even Money
Progressive Jackpot
A significant appeal of Caribbean Stud Poker is the opportunity to win large progressive jackpots with a side bet. Achieving a flush or higher qualifies for the bonus payout:
- Flush: $50 Bonus
- Royal Flush: Wins the jackpot (resets at $10,000+)
However, with odds of around 650,000 to 1 for a Royal Flush, it might be wise to skip this bet.
Caribbean Stud Poker offers an exciting mix of strategy and luck, making it a favorite choice for many casino enthusiasts.
