How to Play Online Caribbean Stud Poker

Caribbean Stud poker is a game played worldwide and it has gained tremendous popularity in last few years. This game is typically based on 5-card stud played on a blackjack like table with seven marks and played with a progressive jackpot. The odds of winning the jackpot in this game are roughly 649,000 to 1 and the house edge is nearly 5 percent. There is no such hard or fast strategy to win at Caribbean Stud poker but one must always keep few things in mind such as bet when you have a pair or high and fold when you have less than the dealer’s eligible hand.

To play the game, it is very important for the player to know the rankings of the hands. It is a low pace game and the players play it against the dealer not one another. As the player is playing against the dealer, his/her hand must go upon the dealer’s hand. To start with, the players need to make a bet equal to the lowest limit and the bet is called “ante”. The ante bet is placed in the round marked as “ante” on the game table. The player can also bet for the bonus jackpot along with the ante bet.

Then one player distributes a hand of five cards face down to all the players playing the game after shuffling and the dealer gets one card up and four cards down. Then all the players have a glance at their cards to decide to collapse and give up the ante bet and place another bet of double ante bet and after this the dealer shows his hand. If the dealer does not have a hand of Ace-King or better, the players are equally paid their ante bet and no one wins or loses having second bet push.

If any of the player’s hand beats dealer’s hand then he/she is paid according to a specific stipulated table. The table says winner will be paid 1 to 1 if he has one pair or less, 2 to 1 on two pairs, 3 to 1 on three of a kind, 4 to 1 having straight, 5 to 1 having flush, 7 to 1 having full house, 20 to 1 on having four of a kind and 50 to 1 on Straight Flush. This is how one plays online Caribbean Stud Poker.
