Caribbean Stud Poker Rules |

All the games we have looked so far involved betting against
other players. But this game is different; here everyone plays
against the casino or room which acts as a bank (dealer), paying
out all winning bets. To win you have to beat the dealer's hand,
other player's hands don't make a difference.
First each player makes an ante (initial blind bet) and is
dealt 5 cards face down. The dealer receives 4 cards face down
and 1 card face up. Now each player decides whether to fold or
play by looking at their cards, if they fold then their ante is
lost but if they continue, they have to double their ante-bet.
Now the dealer reveals his hand, but he must have an A-k or
higher in order to play his hand, if not the player is paid even
money on the ante and also the additional bet is not lost (See
the table for odds). If the player's hand beats the dealer's,
the ante is paid at evens. However, if the dealer's hand beats
the player's hand then both bets are lost.
Additional Bet Payout odds:
1/1 One pair or High card (Even) 2/1 Two pair
3/1 Three of a kind 4/1 Straight
5/1 Flush
7/1 Full House 20/1 Four of a kind 50/1
Straight flush
100/1 Royal flush
If the dealer and player play the same poker hand, then
remaining cards are taken in to consideration. If all five cards
are equal, the hand is void. Neither the ante nor the additional
bet is lost. The ranking of suits makes no difference to the
hand.
Here the odds are poor; a normal game of poker with seven
players will have odds of at least 6/1 which is a great deal
better when compared to the minimum odds in this game which is
1/1. Also the odds paid for additional bet are poor. Again there
is no skill required and you rely too much on luck. Finally
remember you have much better odds of winning money when you are
playing for the pot. Good Luck :)
