Riding trendsThe game of caribbean stud
poker is a variation of poker played on a blackjack sized table.
Following is how the game is played;
First, place a wager, this is called the caribbean stud poker ante.
Second, each player and the dealer is dealt their own five card hand. One of
the caribbean stud poker dealer's cards is face up the other four are
face down.
Third, decide to stay in or
fold. If you fold you forfeit your caribbean stud poker ante. If you
stay in you must add to your bet double the amount of the ante.
Fourth (assuming the player is
still in), the caribbean stud poker dealer looks at his/her cards. If
the caribbean stud poker dealer does not have at least an ace/king
then the player automatically wins even money on the caribbean stud poker
ante and the additional wager is returned. If the caribbean stud poker
dealer does have at least ace/king then a comparison is made between the caribbean
stud poker player's hand and the dealer's hand. If the caribbean stud
poker player has the higher hand he/she wins even money on the caribbean
stud poker ante, and the additional wager pays according to the payoff
table below. If the caribbean stud poker dealer's hand beats the caribbean
stud poker player's hand he loses both the ante and raise.

The caribbean stud poker progressive
jackpot side bet
In caribbean stud poker the player has the choice to make a side
bet of $1 which pays for hands of a flush or better. The specific payoff
tables vary from place to place but always feature a progressive jackpot,
paying 100% of the jackpot meter for a royal flush and 10% for a straight
flush. In the very unlikely event that two players had a royal flush in
the same hand at most places the first one to the caribbean stud poker
dealer's left would win the jackpot and the second would win whatever the
jackpot is reseeded to, usually $10,000 or $20,000. Some places would
split the jackpot between the two players. In the event that two caribbean
stud poker players received a straight flush at the same time the
first one to the caribbean stud poker dealer left would get 10% of
the meter and the second would get 10% of what was left after the first
player was paid. In other words it pays to sit as close as possible to the
caribbean stud poker dealer's left.
