| The Game
of Caribbean Stud Poker |
Caribbean Stud poker is available at most online casinos however it
often goes under slightly different names. Regardless of the name
it is a great twist on a regular poker game and gives the oportunity
for you to win some serious money.
To start a game of Caribbean Stud poker you first must place a bet
on the Ante area of the table. It is important to remember that this
is really only one third of your actual bet if you decide to play
once you have seen you cards. This is because once you have received
your hand you must place a bet double your ante on the bet area.
After you have placed your ante bet you are dealt five cards face
up and the dealer is dealt five cards, one face up and four face down.
It is at this point where you must decide whether your hand has
a chance of out ranking the dealer. If you think it does then you
can bet and see the outcome. If you feel you have a bad hand you can
surennder and lose your ante bet.
The dealer must receive a hand of Ace, King or higher to qualify.
If the dealer does not qualify and you have placed a play bet then
you get double your ante and your play bet i is returned to you.
This is one feature of Caribbean stud that can be a little frustrating
especially if you have a great hand and the dealer fails to qualify.
There is often a side bet that you can also make which is usually
$1. This side bet gives you access to the progressive jackpot. If
you hit a straight flush or a royal flush you receive part of the
jackpot or the whole jackpot respectivly.
