How to Play

Caribbean stud poker starts when a player places his ante on the table in the spot indicated; all ante wagers must be placed prior to the dealer announcing No more bets. Then each player and the dealer receive 5 cards, face down. The dealer turns over one of his cards, then pushes his cards toward the players, after which the players may look at their own cards. They may not discuss their hands with the other players at the table as it is forbidden and players may only look at their cards.

In Caribbean stud poker the players have the option now to play or fold their hands; if they choose to play, they place their bets (doubling their respective antes) in the box marked bets. If they choose to fold, they forfeit their ante and stop playing. After all the players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals his hidden cards. The dealer can only play with an ace/king; he then compares his cards to the players cards, and the best poker hand wins.
