Caribbean Stud
Poker Progressive Jackpot – we’ve halved the bet and doubled the jackpot!
Caribbean Stud and Texas Hold’em Poker are both linked to the progressive jackpot.
This is a jackpot side bet which can be placed by the players. Prior to the dealing the next hand of cards you have the opportunity to participate in the displayed jackpot prize. To do this, place your jackpot wager onto the jackpot betting area adjacent to the regular betting boxes.
This makes you eligible for a jackpot prize, in addition to the regular payment made to a winning bet. You receive a jackpot payout on a qualifying hand regardless of whether the dealer opens or not.

What is the objective of the game?
Caribbean stud poker offers the excitement of poker gaming in a fast-moving, easy-to-play form. You play against the dealer, rather than the other players, and there are only two betting rounds. A player needs to achieve a Poker hand higher than that of the dealer and can win an additional jackpot bonus (optional) by being dealt one of the top five poker hands.
How do I start?
First place a wager in the "Ante" box. You also have the option of placing an additional set wager in the Jackpot spot — this makes you eligible for Jackpot bonuses.
After the initial Ante stakes have been placed, all players and the Dealer receive five cards face down. One of the Dealer's cards is then turned face up, providing a window to the House's hand.
How do I bet?
First, look at your cards. If you think that you can beat the Dealer's hand, place your cards face down in the bet area and make an additional wager (twice that of your 'Ante'). If you're not confident that your hand can beat the Dealer's, you may fold and forfeit your Ante.
How do I win?
After all players have either folded or bet, the Dealer displays the House hand. To open, the Dealer must have at least an Ace and King. If not, all Ante wagers are paid at even money, and all other bets are considered stand off.
If you beat the Dealer's hand, you will be paid even money on your ante wager, and varying odds on your bet depending on the hand you make. If the Dealers hand is higher than your hand, you lose both your Ante and bet.
How do I win the Jackpot Bonus?
If you entered the Progressive Jackpot which is also shared with Texas Hold’em by placing a side bet and your hand qualifies for a payout, you win. The amount you win will be appropriate to your hand regardless of the strength of the Dealer’s hand.
