Caribbean stud

The reputation of the Caribbean Stud has grown hugely nowadays. The game is a table one that also offers the player a chance to make a side bet to win a progressive jackpot. This has added to its appeal even if the chances of winning the big jackpot are around 649,000 to 1. The house edge for the main game is about 5 percent.

How to play Caribbean stud

Caribbean Stud starts with each player making an ante bet, the same amount of the table minimum. This is placed in the circle marked "ante" in front of the player. At this time the player also has the option of making an additional dollar side bet for the bonus jackpot.

A regular shuffler deals the cards and each player receives a hand with five cards face down. The dealer's hand has four cards down and one card up.Players look at their cards and decide to fold and forfeit their ante bet or call by making an additional bet, which is twice the size of the ante. If you are playing at a five-dollar table your ante bet would be five dollars and your call bet would be ten dollars.

After the players have bet or folded, the dealer's hand is turned over. The dealer must qualify by having a hand with Ace-King or better. If the dealer does not qualify the players are paid even money for their original ante bet and the second call bet is a push, which means it, does not win or lose.
