How to Play Caribbean Stud Poker
Caribbean Stud
Caribbean Stud Poker offers the player the challenge of Poker, but uses an easier to play format, plus the first-ever progressive play jackpot ever offered with a table game.
Caribbean Stud Poker is played on a special table, similar to Blackjack, and is based on the five card stud poker game. To play, each player antes, with the option of playing for a progressive jackpot, and receives five cards down. The dealer gets five cards, with one card facing up. The player then examines his hand and decides to fold, forfeiting the ante, or to make an additional bet doubling his ante.
The dealer can only play with an ace/king or better. If the dealer can't open, the player automatically wins the ante, and that hand is over. If the dealer can open, and the player does win the hand, the player collects his additional bet. The player is also paid a special bonus for hands that are two pair or higher.
