Caribbean Stud Poker Rules
Caribbean Stud is a simple poker game that has achieved
great popularity on the internet. In the brick 'n
mortar casino, Caribbean Stud is played at a table with
other players, a dealer, and a little bit of technology.
Since we will be explaining online Caribbean stud poker,
just know the process of making bets in an actual casino
(which requires chips to be placed in small slots
fixtures) is slightly more involved than the online
version of the game, which goes much faster.
Still, the game is slow moving, and can stretch out a
bankroll very nicely.
A
game cannot commence until all players have made their
ante bets, which is half the amount of the table stake.
Also, any player who desires to vie for the progressive
jackpot must place an additional wager at this time.
When all the chips settle, the dealer passes out cards
in standard poker fashion. Five cards total are
dealt, which are all facedown. The dealer receives
five cards also, but with one of them revealed. At
this point, all players examine their hands and act.
They can either fold and lose their ante bet (as well as
jackpot bets) to the House, or, they can stay in the
game by making a call bet, which is double the amount of
the ante bet. Remember, the only strategic choice
you have as a player is during this phase of the game.
Your initial five cards are the only ones you will
receive, so be sure they have a chance at beating the
dealer's hand.
After all players opting to stay in the game have put up
their call bets, the dealer/casino will reveal its four
facedown cards. If the dealer's hand does not have
at least an Ace/King, the casino automatically loses.
Even if the dealer's hand contains a better high card
than a player hand with absolutely nothing, the player
will still win since the dealer's hand did not qualify
with at least an Ace/King. If the dealer does not
qualify, players are paid even money on their ante bets
only, and are given back their call bets. If the
dealer's hand does indeed qualify, it is compared to
each players hand according to standard poker hand
rankings. If it ranks higher, the player loses
both the ante and call bet to the House. If the
player's hand wins, the casino pays even money on the
ante bet in addition to bonus earnings on the call bet.
Since Caribbean Stud is a progressive game with a payout
structure somewhat similar to a video poker machine, the
amount of the bonus earnings on the call bet depends on
the casino call bet bonus schedule.
Remember that Caribbean Stud allows players to vie for
the progressive jackpot by betting an additional stake
(usually $1). It pays according to the jackpot
schedule, which essentially awards large amounts for a
hand of a flush or higher. If a player hits a
Royal Flush, they win the entire jackpot, which can be
one of the largest wins in the casino.
It
is also wise to consider not folding as often as you
would, in say, a game of Texas Holdem. Players
erroneously think that only having to pay up the ante by
folding early on, will save their bankroll.
However, this can add up over the long run, setting back
a bankroll more so than staying in the game to win the
progressive jackpot. Just be aware that a very low
ranked hand should not always warrant folding.
