Caribbean Stud Poker
Caribbean Stud is a fast-paced version of poker and its all-action gameplay has made it a popular choice for many players. With this live release from Evolution Gaming, all of the standard rules apply but, as we’ve come to expect from this innovative games developer, there are some exciting twists.
With side bets available and the prospect of a mighty progressive jackpot, more players are turning on to Caribbean Stud and here’s how you can join in the fun.
Welcome Aboard
If you’ve made it this far, you’re ready to take a seat at our live Caribbean Stud Poker table. Make sure you have made a deposit to cover your opening round of bets and you’re all set. Stake your ante bet and the deal commences
As with any regular game of Caribbean Stud, players are dealt five, face up cards. At the other side of the table, the dealer receives a single face up card with four remaining cards dealt face down. The respective hands are then assessed and the dealer requires a minimum of Ace high to qualify. From that point, it’s a simple case of best hand scoops the pot.
This streamlined gameplay is one of the reasons why Caribbean Stud is so popular. There are no additional opponents to take on and it comes down to a contest between player and dealer. Best hand wins but, as we mentioned at the start, Evolution gaming have provided extras to this version.
On the Side
The first side stake to mention is referred to as the 5 + 1 Bonus Bet. This is placed on the player’s five hands and the first, face up card belonging to the dealer. Combine those cards to make the best poker hand you possibly can and this side bet will pay out on a three of a kind or better. Depending on the value of that hand, this side bet can pay all the way up to an impressive 1000:1.
Another bet to consider in Live Caribbean Stud Poker can lead to the progressive jackpot. This bet has a range of fixed value payouts for three of a kind or better and that jackpot will activate when a Royal Flush drops in.
