Caribbean Stud Poker Game Rules

Caribbean Stud Poker is a form of 5-card stud poker, except with a progressive jackpot. In land-based and online casinos, Caribbean stud poker is fast gaining popularity at levels that known poker games like Texas Hold'em, 7-card stud, and Omaha poker have enjoyed.

What makes this casino game so appealing is that it combines the challenge-based aspect of a table game with the luck-based aspect of a progressive jackpot game. With an estimated 50 million players in the United States alone, poker is considered America's most popular card game.

The Object of the Game

As Caribbean Stud Poker plays out like 5-card stud poker, the game rules and process of the two games are similar. But being a progressive jackpot game, it has variated betting rules and strategies. The object of the game is to beat the dealer by having a higher five-card poker hand than his. Players do not compete with one another, only against the dealer. Wins and losses are based on fixed percentage payouts plus an optional progressive pot, which you may or may not play.
