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:
One pair or High card --->
1/1 (Even)
Two pair --->
2/1
Three of a kind --->
3/1
Straight --->
4/1
Flush
---> 5/1
Full House --->
7/1
Four of a kind --->
20/1
Straight flush --->
50/1
Royal flush --->
100/1
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 :)
