Cyber Caribbean Stud Poker Rules
Cyber Caribbean Stud Poker is an online version of the five-card poker played
on the blue Caribbean waters by passangers of cruise ships, which popularized
the game. It is a very fast game and easy to learn at the same time. Players
play the hands they’re dealt – there is no drawing cards like in a regular poker
so they don't have to decide which cards to hold. All player hands are not
against each other, but against the dealer’s hand. The players ante up and
recieve their cards. They also get a look at one of the dealer's cards. If the
player believes that he can not beat the dealer's card, he may fold. If the
player believes that he has a chance against the dealer, he may increase his
wager.
THE GAME:
Our Stud Poker allows players to play up to 3 hands at the same time. If a
player decides to play more hands , he has to place his wagers in the
appropiately marked bet area. It makes the game much more interesting and
increases the chances of winning.
A player begins by placing his starting bet ("ante") onto a field marked Ante
and clicks the Deal buttonl.
Players are dealt five cards that are face up and the dealer four cards face
down and one that is face up. All players have the chance to assess their hands
and to make a decision as to their further play. Players have the following
options:
1. Fold– quitting the game and losing the starting bet
2. Play – the player makes an additional wager in the bet area. The
bet is known as a "Back Bet" and its amount is the double of the Ante.
The dealer's hand is compared to the player's hand (provided that the
player's hand is still in play).
The dealer must qualify with a hand that consisting of an Ace and a King
(Ace/King) or better. If the dealer fails to qualify, the player receives a
payout in the amount of 1:1 of his starting wager (Ante) and the Back Bet is a
push (in other words, no money is paid on the additional wager made after the
cards have been dealt).
If the dealer qualifies with an Ace/King or better hand, and if the dealer's
hand is higher than that one of the player, then the player loses both wagers
(the Ante and the Back Bet). If the player's hand is higher than the dealer's
hand, the player receives a payout of 1:1 on the Ante wager and an additional
bonus for the Back Bet based on the following chart:
|

Payout |
|
One Pair or less |
1:1 |
|
Two Pairs |
2:1 |
|
Three of a Kind |
3:1 |

Full House |
7:1 |
|
Four of a Kind |
20:1 |
|
Straight Flush |
50:1 |
|
Royal Flush |
100:1 |
In case of a tie, which means that the player’s hand is of equal value with
the dealer’s hand, both bets are a push (neither paid nor taken but transfer to
the next game).
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT:
Players can participate in the optional progressive jackpot, whose current
amount is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the table.
The progressive Jackpot wager is $1.00 per hand. If a player wants to take
that option , he must insert a $1 chip into the slot above the Ante circle.
Regardless of the outcome of the player's hand, any player who has wagered
the Progressive Jackpot and is holding a Jackpot hand will receive a bonus for
that hand according to the following chart:
