Caribbean
Stud Poker Rules
Cyber
Caribbean Stud Poker is an
online version of the five-card
stud poker game popularized
on cruise ships plying the
sparkling blue Caribbean waters.
Stud Poker is a fast paced
game, easy to learn and fun
to play. You play the hand
you're dealt – there
is no draw in Stud –
so you don't have to decide
which cards to hold. All player
hands are pitted against the
dealer's hand, not against
each other. You "ante
up", receive your hand
and get a look at one of the
dealer's cards. You then have
the opportunity to fold or
increase your bet to see if
you beat the dealer's hand.
Caribbean Stud Game Play:
Our Caribbean Stud Poker is a multi-hand
game, meaning you can play
up to 3 hands at the same
time. Simply place wagers
in the betting circles to
either side of the centre
seat if you want to play additional
hands. It makes the game much
more interesting and increases
your chances of winning.
A player begins by placing
a starting bet ("ante")
in the Ante circle and then
clicking the Deal button.
Players are dealt five cards
face up while the dealer is
dealt four cards face down
and one card face up. Players
then evaluate their hands
and decide on one of two options:
The Caribbean Stud poker dealer's hand is revealed
and compared to the player's
hand (if player's hand is
still in play).
The Caribbean Stud Poker dealer must qualify,
however, with a hand consisting
of an Ace and a King (Ace/King)
or better. If the dealer fails
to qualify, the player receives
even money on the amount wagered
on the Ante, while the Back
Bet is a push (in other words,
no money is paid on the additional
wager made after the cards
were dealt).
If the Caribbean Stud Poker dealer qualifies with
an Ace/King or better, and
if the Caribbean Stud Poker dealer's hand is higher
than the player's hand, then
the player loses both wagers
(the Ante and the Back Bet).
If the Caribbean Stud Poker player's hand is higher
than the dealer's hand, the
player receives even money
on the Ante wager and a bonus
amount wagered for the Back
Bet based on the following
chart:
In the case of a Tie, where
the player's hand is of equal
rank with the dealer's hand,
both bets are a push (neither
paid nor taken).
Players can participate in
the optional Progressive Jackpot.
The amount of the current
Jackpot is reflected in the
upper right-hand corner of
the table.
The Progressive Jackpot wager
is $1.00 per hand. To participate,
insert a $1 chip into the
slot above the Ante circle
for each hand you want to
be eligible for a Progressive
Jackpot payout. If you are
playing multiple hands per
deal, you must place a jackpot
bet for each hand position
you are playing in order for
each hand result to qualify
for a jackpot payout.
Regardless of the outcome
of the poker hand against
the dealer, any player holding
a Jackpot hand who has wagered
the Progressive Jackpot for
that hand will receive a jackpot
payout according to the following
chart:
Royal Flush
The highest ranking hand possible.
An Ace, King, Queen, Jack
and 10 of the same suit. Starting
with an Ace, all five cards
are in sequence and in a common
suit.

Caribbean Stud Poker Game Controls
Deal — Starts
the game by dealing a hand
to each player who placed
an Ante bet and to the dealer.
Deal is inactive until at
least one Ante circle has
at least a minimum bet.
Re-Bet — Places
the same wager amounts on
the same Ante circles as you
had for the previous hand.
If you wish, you may modify
these amounts prior to clicking
the Deal button.
Clear — Clears
all wagers from the table
and returns the amounts to
your balance.
Once the Deal button is clicked,
these first three controls
disappear and cards are dealt
to each player position with
an Ante bet. Then the following
two controls appear at each
position in turn, starting
from right to left.
Play — Keeps
this hand in the game and
automatically places the Back
Bet (2 times the Ante bet)
in the Bet circle (deducting
that amount from your balance).
Play passes to the next position
or, if this is the last position,
the dealer's hand is revealed
to determine win/lose/tie
for any hands that did not
fold.
Fold — Ends the
hand for this position and
the player loses the Ante
bet. Play passes to the next
position or, if this is the
last position, the dealer's
hand is revealed to determine
win/lose/tie for any hands
that did not fold.
