Caribbean Stud Poker
This is an easy game to learn as it employs many of the skills of standard 5-card Stud linked with a progressive and is played on a blackjack style table with seven spots. All of the players play against the dealer and not against one another.
When you ante in the dealer will deal you five cards and five to themselves. The dealer turns one of their cards up, and then at this point you have the choice of making an additional bet known as the "call" bet or you can surrender. If you surrender you lose both the hand and your ante.
If you make the "call" bet the dealer then turns over their cards and to continue to the showdown the dealer must "qualify" by holding at least an Ace-King or better. If the dealer does not qualify, you win the ante but your "call" bet is simply returned to you no matter what the cards.
If the dealer does qualify then it's a showdown, if you win the ante pays even money but if you win with anything better than a pair then the house pays you a multiple of your "call" bet based on a bonus ranking. So the better your hand the higher the bonus that is paid payout, see the table below.
| Hand | Payoff |
| Royal Flush | 100:1 |
| Straight Flush | 50:1 |
| 4 of a Kind | 20:1 |
| Full House | 7:1 |
| Flush | 5:1 |
| Straight | 4:1 |
| 3 of a Kind | 3:1 |
| 2 Pair | 2:1 |
| 1 Pair | 1:1 |
If you lose the showdown, the dealer takes both your bets and it's time for another hand.
