Cyber Caribbean Stud Poker Rules
Cyber
Caribbean Stud Poker is an online version of the five-card stud poker
game popularized on cruise ships plying the sparkling blue Caribbean
waters. Stud Poker is a fast paced game, easy to learn and fun to play.
You play the hand you�re dealt - there is no draw in Stud -
so you don't have to decide which cards to hold. All player hands are
pitted against the dealer�s hand, not against each other. You "ante
up", receive your hand and get a look at one of the dealer's cards.
You then have the opportunity to fold or increase your bet to see if
you beat the dealer�s hand.
Game Play:
Our Stud Poker is a multi-hand game, meaning you can play up to 3
hands at the same time. Simply place wagers in the betting circles to
either side of the center seat if you want to play additional hands.
It makes the game much more interesting and increases your chances of
winning.
A player begins by placing a starting bet (�ante�) in the Ante circle
and then clicking the Deal button.
Players are dealt five cards face up while the dealer is dealt four
cards face down and one card face up. Players then evaluate their hands
and decide on one of two options:
- Fold - Play stops
and the player loses the ante bet
- Play - The player
places an additional wager in the Bet area. Known as the "Back Bet",
this must be double the amount of the Ante wager.
The dealer's hand is revealed and compared to the player's hand (if
player's hand is still in play).
The dealer must qualify, however, with a hand consisting of an
Ace and a King (Ace/King) or better. If the dealer fails to qualify,
the player receives even money on the amount wagered on the Ante, while
the Back Bet is a push (in other words, no money is paid on the additional
wager made after the cards were dealt).
If the dealer qualifies with an Ace/King or better, and if the dealer's
hand is higher than the player's hand, 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 even money on the Ante wager and
a bonus amount wagered for the Back Bet based on the following chart:
Player�s Hand |
Bonus Payout |
One Pair or less |
1:1 |
Two Pair |
2:1 |
Three of a Kind |
3:1 |
Straight |
4:1 |
Flush |
5:1 |
Full House |
7:1 |
Four of a Kind |
20:1 |
Straight Flush |
50:1 |
Royal Flush |
100:1 |
In the case of a Tie, where the player�s hand is of equal rank with
the dealer�s hand, both bets are a push (neither paid nor taken).
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT:
Players can participate in the optional Progressive Jackpot. The amount
of the current Jackpot is reflected in the upper right-hand corner of
the table.
The progressive Jackpot wager is $1.00 per hand. To participate, insert
a $1 chip into the slot above the Ante circle at your seat.
Regardless of the outcome of the poker hand, any player holding a
Jackpot hand who has wagered the Progressive Jackpot will receive a
bonus for that hand according to the following chart:
Player�s Hand |
Bonus Payout |
Flush |
$50 |
Full House |

Four of a Kind |

Game Controls
Deal - Starts the game by dealing
a hand to each player who placed an Ante bet and to the dealer. Deal
is inactive until at least one Ante circle has at least a minimum bet.
Re-Bet - Places the same wager
amounts on the same Ante circles as you had for the previous hand. If
you wish, you may modify these amounts prior to clicking the Deal button.
Clear - Clears all wagers from
the table and returns the amounts to your balance.
Once the Deal button is clicked, these first three controls disappear
and cards are dealt to each player position with an Ante bet. Then the
following two controls appear at each position in turn, starting from
right to left.
Play - Keeps this hand in the
game and automatically places the Back Bet (2 times the Ante bet) in
the Bet circle (deducting that amount from your balance). Play passes
to the next position or, if this is the last position, the dealer�s
hand is revealed to determine win/lose/tie for any hands that did not
fold.
Fold - Ends the hand for this position and the player loses the Ante
bet. Play passes to the next position or, if this is the last position,
the dealer�s hand is revealed to determine win/lose/tie for any hands
that did not fold.
