Caribbean Stud Poker Live

Caribbean Stud Poker Live Game Overview

In order to win Caribbean Stud Poker Live, you need to have a better five-card poker hand than the dealers.

Ante Bet

To start, you need to place an Ante bet. 

Once the betting time has expired, you will be dealt five cards face-up.

The dealer will also receive four cards, which are face down, plus one card face-up.

5+1 Bonus Bet

The 5+1 Bonus bet is an optional bet that can be placed after the Ante bet has been placed.

Creating a Three of a Kind hand or better with your cards plus the dealer's face-up cards will win the 5+1 Bonus bet.

The payout of this bet isn't influenced by opting to 'Call' or 'Fold'.

Progressive Jackpot Side Bet

The Progressive Jackpot side bet is an optional bet that can pay a Progressive Jackpot or a lesser-value fixed prize.

The Progressive Jackpot doesn't have a maximum value.

The value of the jackpot increases progressively during the game.

Even if your hand folds or the dealer wins, you can still win the Progressive Jackpot.

Call or Fold

Once you have received your five cards, you need to decide if you want to 'Call' or 'Fold' your hand:

• Call - continue playing the hand
• Fold - lose all bets made on the hand

If you choose to 'Call', then a wager will be placed on your hand at double the cost of the Ante bet. 

If you fold, then the Ante bet and the hand are both lost.

Results

After you have opted to 'Call' or 'Fold', the dealer will reveal their face-down cards.

The hands will then be compared to determine the winner.

In order to qualify, the dealer's hand must contain an Ace and a King.

If the dealer does not qualify, you will automatically win and the Ante bet will pay out even money and your Call bet will also be returned. 

If the dealer does qualify, one of the following will occur:

• If you win - the Ante bet will pay out even money and your Call bet will pay according to the paytable
• If the dealer wins - you lose and your Ante bet and Call bet will both be lost
• If you and the dealer tie - your Ante and Call bets will both be returned
