Additional Stud Rules
There is no tolerance of communication between players. If a player divulges information about their hand to other players, the dealer may declare those players hands "Dead" and require the players to forfeit all placed wagers.
A limit of one hand each round, per player, is allowed.
Whosoever places a wager is solely responsible for the outcome and safety of their cards. If a player touches another players cards, that player will be disqualified and will be forced to forfeit their wagers.
It is every players responsibility to always have their cards in full sight of the dealer. After a player has looked over their hand and placed them on the playing table (face down), the player is prohibited from picking the cards back up again.
In a situation where the dealer has not declared a cease betting, and a hole card is revealed, then a misdeal is declared, and all hands will be declared "Dead". This will be followed by a new deal.
It is each players responsibility for making certain that any additional wager they make goes towards the progressive jackpot. In a poker machine, this is indicated by a green light.
In a situation where the dealer is missing more than one card from their hand, a misdeal will be declared, and all hands will be designated as "Dead". This will be followed by a reshuffle and a new deal. If only one card is missing from the dealers hand, a fifth card will be dealt from the deck. However, if any cards are missing from a player's hand, the hand will be declared "Dead" and depending on the causes of the misdeal, the player will receive their wagers back.
If a hole card is exposed prior to the dealer announcing no more bets, all hands shall be void.
Players choosing to play for the progressive payout are responsible for ensuring that the indicator light on the acceptor device is properly illuminated.
If a player is dealt an incorrect number of cards, that players hand shall be void. If the dealer is dealt four cards of the five card hand, the dealer shall deal an additional card to complete the hand. Any other misdeal to the dealer shall result in all hands being void and the cards shall be reshuffled.
As with Let it ride poker, Caribbean stud game is played on a Blackjack-like table. Apart from the fact that you play against the dealer's hand and not against other players, Caribbean stud is otherwise very similar to five-card stud game.
To play, each player antes, with the option of playing for a progressive jackpot (for an extra $1), and receives five cards face down. The dealer gets five cards, with one card facing up. The player then examines his hand and decides to fold, forfeiting the ante, or to make an additional bet by doubling his ante bet.
The dealer can only play with an ace and king combination or better. If the dealer can't open, the player automatically wins the ante bet and that hand is over. If the dealer can open, and the player does win the hand, the player collects his additional bet. The player is also paid a special bonus for hands that are two pair or higher.
