Caribbean Stud Poker

A casino table game based on the standard 5-card stud poker game played on a Blackjack-type table. Some casinos also offer a progressive jackpot paid to high ranking hands. This table game is played with one deck of cards.

Here the player competes against the dealer's hand. Each player makes the opening bet called 'ante'. Players then have the option to bet $1.00 to participate in the progressive jackpot. Players win all or part of the progressive jackpot with a Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House or Flush.

Players place the opening bet 'ante'. Then the dealer deals in turn giving five cards each face down, including himself except for the dealer's fifth card, which is face up. After examining the cards, the player must decide on one of two options:

1. Either place a bet on the 'play' mark equal to the 'ante' amount and continue the game, or
2. Fold and withdraw from that round and forfeit the 'ante' wager.

Once all the players made their decisions, the dealer will open his or her cards. The dealer's hand must contain an Ace-King or better to qualify and challenge the players hands, otherwise the dealer folds and only the 'ante' wagers are paid, at 1:1 irrespective of ranking. The 'play' bet is returned to the player.

If the dealer's hand qualifies with an Ace-King or better, then the players cards are opened and compared against the dealer's. If the dealer's hand is better than the player's hand, then the player loses both, the 'ante' and 'play' wager.

If the player's hand is better than the dealer's, then the dealer pays the player for both wagers; the 'ante' and the 'play'. For the 'ante' the payoff is fixed at 1:1 irrespective of the hand ranking. For the 'play' wager the payoffs vary according to the ranking of each player's hand.

The payoffs may differ between casinos but basically they are as follows:

• A Pair - Even Money
• Two Pairs - 2 to 1
• Three of A Kind - 3 to 1
• Straight - 4 to 1
• Flush - 5 to 1
• Full House - 7 to 1
• Four of A Kind - 20 to 1
• Straight Flush - 50 to 1
• Royal Flush - 100 to 1

Irrespective of the dealer's hand, if a player has a hand that qualifies for the progressive jackpot, the player wins according to the ranking of his hand. If two or more players win, the winnings are shared. The jackpot payoffs are as follows:

• Royal Flush - 100% of the Jackpot
• Straight Flush - 10% of the Jackpot
• Four of a Kind - $100
• Full House - $75
• Flush - $50

How to bet

ANTE BET

This is your opening bet (as in poker).

BET TO CALL DEALER

If you feel you have a hand, which will beat the dealer's hand, you make this bet. This is exactly twice the amount of the ANTE bet.

FOLD

If you do not feel you have a strong enough hand to beat the dealer, you fold and do not make the bet to "Call the Dealer".

DEALER'S HAND

Dealer must have an Ace/King or higher to continue. If the dealer cannot "open" with an Ace/King, the hand is over, and the dealer will collect the cards and pay ante bets only for players who stayed in the hand. If the dealer's hand is high enough to open, and your hand is higher than the leader's hand, you may qualify for a bonus.

Which of the following hands would you never make the call bet on in Caribbean Stud Poker?

1. Player has A-K-10-4-2 (unsuited) with the dealer exposing an ace.

2. Player has Q-J-7-2-2 with the dealer exposing a 10.

3. Player has K-10-8-8-5 with the dealer exposing an 8.
