To Play:
Caribbean Stud, a five card stud game with odds paid for higher winning hands. A player begins by placing a bet in the ante box. Player is dealt five cards face down while the the dealer is dealt four cards face down and one card face up. Player then evaluate their hands and decide on one of two options.
Ante Bet:
To begin, each player must place an ante bet prior to the dealer announcing "no more bets." Each player receives five cards face down. The dealer gets four cards face down and one card face up.
Bet To Call Dealer:
If a player thinks his hand will beat the dealer hand and wishes to continue, the player must place an additional wager of exactly twice the ante bet.
Surrender or Fold Hand:
If a player thinks he cannot beat the dealer hand, the player will fold his hand and surrender the ante.
Dealer's Hand:
The dealer must have Ace/King or better to continue to play. If he does not qualify, the player ante wager is paid even money and the bet wager is a push. If the dealer does have an Ace/King or better, or the player hand is higher in rank than the dealer hand, then the player collects on his ante and bet wagers. If the dealer hand and the player hand tie, the ante and bet wagers are both pushes and no action is taken.
