CARIBBEAN POKER
Caribbean Stud Poker is beginning to show a lot of popularity in
your major gambling establisments. This game is usually found
in the Caribbean and on cruise ships. It offers the player the
challenge of Poker, but using an easier playing format. It also
offers a progressive jackpot on this table game.
Each player must place a wager in the ante area in front of
them. Each player has the option to place a $1 chip in the slot
just in front of the ante. This bet is not required, but in
order to qualify for any part of the progressive jackpot, the
player must place a bet in the slot before the dealer starts to
deal the cards.
The dealer will then deal each player five cards, face down.
The dealer also receives five cards, exposing only one of the
cards. The players will then decide if they wish to play their
hand against the dealers. If a player decides to play his hand,
the player must place another bet. That bet must be twice the
amount of the ante bet. That bet is placed in the bet area in
front of each player. If the player decides he does not wish to
play the hand, he loses his ante bet.
- 2 -
After everyone has placed their bets, the dealer will expose her
hand. The dealer must have at least an Ace/King or better to
qualify or open. If the dealer doesn't qualify, then the dealer
pays all ante bets only. If the dealer does qualify and the
player has a better poker hand than the dealer, then he collects
on his other doubled bet. If the player cannot beat the dealer,
the player loses his ante and bet.
All players are playing against the house dealer and must beat
the house hand in order to win their wager. You are not playing
against the other players.
If a player places a $1 chip in the jackpot slot, the player may
win all or part of the jackpot regardless of whether his hand is
better than the dealers. The jackpot bet is a seperate bet.
The following is the payoff schedule for the progressive
jackpot:
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT PAYOFFS
Royal Flush 100%
Straight Flush 10%
4 of a Kind $100
Full House $ 75
Flush $ 50
The Progressive Jackpot starts at $10,000. The jackpot
increases by .50 cents for each $1 chip that is placed in the
jackpot slot. The Progressive Jackpot will continue to grow
until a Royal Flush is made by a player. All the Caribbean Stud
Poker tables in the same Casino are tied together for the
Progressive Jackpot only. These jackpots can get very high
before someone wins it.
If the dealer qualifies and your hand is better than hers, you
may qualify for a bonus. All ante bets are paid off at even
money, but the double bet is paid off according to the type of
poker hand you have. The following is the Bonus Payout Schedule
that determines how much you win if you beat the dealer.
BONUS PAYOUT SCHEDULE
Royal Flush 100 to 1
Straight Flush 50 to 1
4 of a Kind 20 to 1
Full House 7 to 1
Flush 5 to 1
Straight 4 to 1
3 of a Kind 3 to 1
Two Pair 2 to 1
One Pair 1 to 1
Assume you placed a $1 chip in the Jackpot slot, ante for $5,
and played the hand for another $10 bet, and you have a flush.
- 3 -
If the dealer did not qualify, you win your ante bet for $5.
You also have a flush and since you are in for the Jackpot, you
win another $50. Your $10 double bet does not win.
If the dealer qualified and had a better hand than yours, you
would have won the $50 bonus but lost your $5 ante and the $10
double bet.
If the dealer qualified and you had a better hand than the
dealer, you would have won the $50 bonus, $5 ante, and 5 to 1 on
your $10 double bet.
