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 bet, 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. The bonus paid out is based on the table below:
| One Pair | Even Money |
| Two Pairs | Two to One |
| Three of a Kind | Three to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
| Straight | Four to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
| Flush | Five to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
| Full House | Seven to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
| Four of a Kind | Twenty to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
| Straight Flush | Fitty to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
| Toyal Flush | One Hundred to One (up to the table maximun payout) |
As mentioned earlier, the player can place an optional bet for the Progressive Jackpot at the same time he places his ante bet. To do so, simply drop a $1 coin into the acceptor slot located in front of each player. The player then qualifies for a Progressive Jackpot by drawing one of the five hands listed in the table below.
| Royal Flush | 100% of jackpot amount shown on table meter |
| Straight Flush | 10% of jackpot amount shown on table meter |
| Four of a Kind | $100 |
| Full House | $75 |
| Flush | %50 |
Players may win a Progressive Jackpot payoff even if the dealer has a higher hand. Should two or more players qualify for a Progressive Jackpot payoff during the same hand, the players will share the jackpot as an aggregate.
