Game Objective
The object of the game is to beat the dealer's
hand. In Caribbean Stud Poker, the dealer's hand must contain at least one Ace
and one King in order to qualify and for the game to continue. If the dealer's
hand does not contain an Ace or a King, or better, the game ends immediately. If
the dealer's hand does qualify, no additional cards are dealt. The hands are
compared and the best hand wins. The game is played with a standard 52-card
deck.
The Game
If the dealer's hand contains at least an Ace and a King, then his hand is
compared with your hand:
-
You either win or lose both the ante bet and raise
bet, depending on the strength of your hand. Your hand must beat the
dealer's hand, according to the hierarchy of winning hands, for you to be
paid.
-
If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you are paid
even money (1 to 1) for your ante bet. For your raise bet, you are paid
according to the rank of your hand, which is calculated according to the
raise bet paytable displayed below.
-
If the dealer's hand wins, you lose both your ante
bet and call bet.
If the dealer's hand is not qualified:
-
You will win your ante bet. The bet pays even money (1
to 1) unless of course you folded in the betting round.
-
Your raise wager will be returned to you.
Push:
When the dealer and the player receive Poker hands of equal value (known as a
push), both the ante and the raise bet are returned to the player.
