How to Play Caribbean Stud Poker
How to play Caribbean Stud Poker:
Caribbean Stud Poker features two betting rounds per hand. The first is your ante. After you ante in, you and the dealer are each dealt five cards. The second round begins when the dealer turns one of his cards face up. If you like your chances and believe you're still in the running after seeing the card, you can call-which is locked in at twice your ante-and play on. If you don't call, you surrender your ante and lose the hand.
If you call, the dealer flips over his cards. To continue, the dealer must "qualify" by having at least an Ace-King or better. Otherwise, you win the ante but your call is simply returned, regardless of what cards are showing.
Play on if the dealer qualifies. If you win, the ante pays even money. However, if you win with anything higher than a pair, the house pays you a multiple of your call based on a bonus ranking system. The higher your hand, the bigger the bonus.
Here are the bonus payout odds:
| HAND | PAYOUT |
| Royal Flush | 100:1 |
| 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 Pair | 2:1 |
| Ace/King | 1:1 |
Limits: $1 - $250 per hand
