Caribbean Stud is a 5 card stud poker played in a blackjack style table with a normal 52 card deck. The cards are usually dealt through a multi-deck shoe or through an automatic shuffle machine that deals in groups of 5 card hands. Players attempt to beat the dealer with the finest poker hand. Each seat in the Caribbean table contains a chip slot. The slot fixture has little lights that glow up when a chip that has been located in the slot is allowed to fall through for collection by the dealer. Always make sure to look at the lights to check that your jackpot betting is indicated, before your hand is dealt. Occasionally they do not work correctly and that might cause issues.

Before any of the cards are dealt, you can place your bet on the Ante box of your desk draft. This ante betting could be any amount within the posted table limits. With each hand you might also play for the possible progressive jackpot. If you want to do this, you should place a $1.00 dollar chip in the chip slot in front of you. When every player who wishes to play for the jackpot puts their bets out, the dealer presses a button which allows all of the $1.00 dollar chips to drop through their slots for collection.
The light in your slot fixture is activate by the chip and will stay illuminated through the hand to prove that you completed the jackpot betting. The dealer then gives face down, five cards to all the players and gives themselves 4 down and 1 up. You then look at your cards and choose to either fold or play. If you decide to fold, you will lose your ante best. If you decide to play, you place twice the amount of your ante in the “Bet” box. This is called as your “call” bet.
After all the players have acted, the dealers reveal his 4 hole cards. If he or she has an Ace and a King or a superior hand, he qualifies to participate with the players. If he doesn’t succeed with the A-K or superior required he will pay all the bettors matching the amount of their ante bets. Each identified bet, in these cases, is called as a “push”. But if the dealers hand is superior with an A-K or superior, he then compares his hand to both of the player’s hands. If the dealer’s hand is higher, the player loses either of their call bet or ante bet (usually call). If the player’s hand is superior to the dealer’s, then she or he wins. The dealer then gives you 5 cards, face down, to all the players and gives themselves 4 down and 1 up. You then look at your cards and choose to either fold or play. If you decide to fold, you then lose your ante bet.
