繁體中文Caribbean Stud Poker Rules Explained
Caribbean Stud Poker is a casino poker game played against the dealer, not other players. This guide explains the rules. For hand values, see poker hand rankings. Payouts are shown in the game.
- You place an ante, get five cards, then fold or raise to challenge the dealer's hand.
- The dealer needs a minimum hand to qualify.
- No.
The objective
You aim to beat the dealer's five-card hand. You place an ante, receive five cards, and decide whether to fold or raise.
The raise decision
After seeing your cards and one of the dealer's, you fold (losing the ante) or make a raise bet to continue.
Dealer qualifying
The dealer needs a minimum hand to 'qualify'. If the dealer does not qualify, the raise is often returned and the ante pays a set amount, regardless of your hand.
Payouts & side bets
If both qualify and you win, the raise pays according to your hand strength, with stronger hands paying more. A progressive side bet is sometimes offered. See the table games guide.
