Rules of Caribbean Stud Poker
Aside from poker, Caribbean Stud Poker is one of the faster growing casino games. It used to be hard to find a place to play, but most casinos today have it. And you’ll always find it at any decent online casino.
I think the game exploded, because it’s a snap to learn and it’s a fun social game. Playing it alone is fun too, but there’s nothing quite like a full and rowdy table of Caribbean Stud Poker players.
Okay, let’s jump into the game and go over some of the rules. If you don’t know how to play and you want to start at the beginning, we’ve got another article on this site that does this.
First, you need to Ante up. Let’s imagine that you’ve just put $5 down. After you get your cards, you need to evaluate them and decide if you want to stay in the hand. Here’s the big decision of the game. If you want to quit, you fold. If not, you need to double your Ante and push this amount to the Bet area. So, in our example, we had a $5 Ante. The Bet would be $10 and we’d end up with $15 on the table.
How you win money
You’re playing against the dealer only. If the dealer has a hand rank of Ace-King or better, it’s game on. If not, your Ante bet is paid even money and your Bet wager is pushed back to you.
If the dealer qualifies, and you beat the dealer’s hand, your Ante is paid even money, but your Bet wager is paid according to your hand rank. Here’s the pay chart:
One Pair or nothing: even money 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
Remember, the “odds” are paid to your Bet wager only. If you played the $1 progressive, you’ll receive even money for a Flush or better.
And don’t forget that the dealer must qualify or your beautiful hand gets paid nothing but the even money on the Ante wager. That’s why I love to play the progressive always.
Example Hand
Okay, let’s run through a quick example. First, you place a $10 wager on the table and $1 in the progressive-it’s always just a buck. You get your cards and you have a flush. Obviously, you want to stay in this hand, so you place the $20 Bet wager to stay in.
Let me point out that your Bet wager is always 2x the Ante. You can’t bet more or less ever.
The dealer turns the hand over and has two pair-you win. Your Ante wager is paid $10 and your Bet wager is paid $100 (5:1), for a total of $110 won on the hand. But wait! You played the progressive, so you’ll be paid that bonus too.
The progressive bonus varies and we’ll talk about it in another article.

Betting and playing on online casinos is relatively easy and convenient, as compared to a land based casino, but just like other games even online casino games have to be played with lots of strategies and guidelines. These guidelines or instructions make sure that you dont lose big or get bullied by online casino dealers. There is no doubt in the fact that your own skills are your best weapon, but without a proper knowledge of how to and what to in the world of online casinos you can end up in a mess and even if you did not itll be a successful road to a dead end.
Today you can get the big world of casinos and gambling into your home and office through internet. To utilize this alluring and enigmatic world of money and entertainment you need to understand few basic instructions for successful betting.
First thing first, always choose the right online casino in order to make a good fortune and learn more. Out of so many online casinos that are available, it may be tricky for you to pick one but by doing some enquiry and comparing the facilities they provide it may not be as difficult as it sounds. Search and read about the online casino you choose and its terms and conditions. Also go through the about us page and through the various schemes and bonuses being provided. See if the casino is providing free practice and fun games. See if the casino has a 24/7 available customer support system. Talk to people or friends for their advice. Lastly, do not forget to check for any hidden conditions.
Always find out the pay mode of the casino you have chosen. Enquire if you need to have an electronic account with them or will they accept ATM prepaid and cheques. Some online casinos also charge registration fees.
Start with free games or practice as much as you can before you begin. Learn, understand and get a grip on the skills and controls as some of the online games have different rules. Also do not get tempted by the game if you are winning not losing, as some online casinos make their player win and win to attract them and make an impression on them.
Risk management is another important skill you should adopt before entering into the world of online casino or gambling. Gambling does not always make you win you also lose and sometimes lose big. To avoid big loss and burn outs always keep a limit for yourself, keep your approach low and dont get over confident. Also if possible keep aside the money for gambling. By playing with the limited amount of money you will learn to check on your moves and end up with successful bets. Once you know the amount to be used your next step is the stop point. Decide and plan when to stop betting and playing in order to minimize the loss, if any. Burn out or exhaustion makes you less attentive towards your strategies and you end up losing.
To win big, start small. Play with lower level in a casino game to get the control of the ambience and the mood. With lower bets you also ensure less loss and slow, but a winning path towards success. Also always start with or play online casino games, you are familiar with and, have more winning chances as you know what you are into, and thus chances of winning are higher and certain.
