Just
looking for a bit of fun? Caribbean Stud Poker is exciting and easy
to play, but don’t expect great returns.
The
game
Players
place the initial bet or ‘ante’ before being dealt 5 cards all
face up. The dealer also receives a hand of 5 cards, however only 1
of these cards is face up. Players have the choice to either fold or
stay in the game.
Players
who fold lose their ante.
Players
who choose to stay must raise their ante by betting two times the
original bet.
When
all players have made their choices, the dealer will turn the 4
face-down cards over.
The
dealer must qualify for the game to continue, that is, they must
have either an Ace or a King in their hand. If the dealer qualifies,
the players’ and dealer’s hands are compared and the highest one
wins (using normal poker rankings). If the dealer fails to qualify,
the players that chose to stay in the game will win even money on
their ante. The raise is pushed (returned to the player). If the
dealer wins, the players lose both their ante and the raise. If a
player’s hand wins, they receive even money on the ante plus odds
on the pushed wager.
The
payoff depends on the hand. This is summarized in the table below.
