Caribbean Stud POKER

A great introduction to poker. The thrill and excitement of poker, without the complicated raising and blinds you’ve seen on James Bond. You are dealt 5 cards, you can either call or fold, any hand beating the dealer wins. A great game to really ‘up the ante’ on your event!

How to play Caribbean Stud - The Basics

Caribbean stud poker is a casino game based on five-card stud poker and is played on a blackjack-like table with seven spots. All players play against the dealer, not against one another.

Setting Up

1. Change your fun money into chips.
2. Place a mandatory bet in the Ante box before play begins. The dealer will now deal five cards to each player face down and four face down with one face up to himself.

Playing the Hand

1. Examine your five cards. Share no information about your hand with your neighbours.
2. Decide whether to fold or call the dealer.
3. Place a bet which is equal to or double the ante bet if you wish to continue playing.
4. Forfeit your ante if you wish to fold.
5. Place your cards facedown on the table.
6. Watch the dealer collect the antes of those who have folded and expose his other four cards.
7. The dealer qualifies by having an ace-king or higher. If the dealer does not qualify, the hand is over. Antes are paid even money and the call bet is returned. If the dealer qualifies with a better hand than the player, the player loses all bets. If the player holds a better hand than the dealer, the odds are as follows:
   
   
   • 1-to-1 on ace-king or one pair
   • 2-to-1 on two pair
   • 3-to-1 on three of a kind
   • 4-to-1 on a straight
   • 5-to-1 on a flush
   • 7-to-1 on a full house
   • 20-to-1 on four of a kind
   • 50-to-1 on a straight flush
   • 100-to-1 on a royal flush
     
   
   If the player and the dealer hold the same hand, the hand holding the highest card wins.
8. Collect your winnings.
9. Place a mandatory bet in the Ante box if you wish to play again.
