Number One Gambling Choice
Caribbean Stud Poker
This table game is played with one deck. The player has two ways of
making money from this stud game. The first is similar to other table
games. The player places an ante on the space provided on the table. The
dealer will deal a hand of five cards to the player and a hand of five
cards to himself. The final card dealt to the dealer is dealt face up so
that the player can see the value of the card. At this point the player
can see all five of their cards and one of the dealers. Now the player
can make the decision to fold or bet. If the player chooses to fold, the
hand and ante is surrendered to the dealer and a new hand begins. If the
player chooses to bet, and therefore compares their hand to the dealer's
hand, the player has to place the bet on the table. The bet has to be
twice the value of the ante, no more, no less.
The dealer will then show the player his cards. The dealer qualifies for
play if his hand is ranked with an Ace, King or higher. If the dealer
doesn't have a qualifying hand and the player has bet, then the dealer
pushes the player's bet and ante back plus the amount of the ante, as
winnings. If the dealer has a qualifying hand and the player beats the
dealer, the player wins an equal value to his ante and the bet is paid
out at odds to the value of the player's hand.
The Progressive (a five-card hand that is a flush or better)
The second game that is going on inside the regular one is the
progressive game. This game is an optional side game added the regular
table game. This game is implemented and resolved every hand. The player
makes the decision to play the progressive at the beginning of each
hand. Then the benefits for getting a progressive hand are only valid if
the player paid for the progressive at the beginning of that hand. The
payout rates for progressive hands are fixed for the most part; when the
player gets a straight flush, the progressive payout is 10% of the pot.
If the player gets a royal flush, the payout is 100% of the pot.
If you can't double always stand.
