Caribbean Stud Poker is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. A player needs to first place an "ante bet". The player and dealer are both dealt five cards each. One of the dealers cards is dealt face up. In Caribbean Stud Poker, no additional cards are drawn. The player and dealer compare hands from their five cards.
You need to choose whether to bet and challenge the dealer's hand or to surrender. If you want to challenge the dealer, bet two times the ante. When the bet has been placed, the dealer exposes their remaining four cards and the hands are compared. If you do not want to challenge the dealer's hand, you need to surrender and loose your ante.
Dealer Must Have Ace-King to Qualify
In Caribbean Stud Poker, the dealer's hand must have an Ace and a King to qualify. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, the player will receive payment on their ante only which pays even money (1 to 1).
If the dealer's hand does qualify the ante and the back bet will be paid according to the winnings table.
Tie
When the player and dealer have the same hand value, it is considered a tie or push. The bet is returned to the player. |
