Cyber Caribbean Stud Poker Rules
Cyber Caribbean Stud Poker is an online version of the five-card
stud poker game popularized on cruise ships plying the sparkling
blue Caribbean waters. Stud Poker is a fast paced game, easy to
learn and fun to play. You play the hand you're dealt – there
is no draw in Stud – so you don't have to decide which cards
to hold. All player hands are pitted against the dealer's hand,
not against each other. You "ante up", receive your hand
and get a look at one of the dealer's cards. You then have the opportunity
to fold or increase your bet to see if you beat the dealer's hand.
Game Play:
Our Stud Poker is a multi-hand game, meaning you can play up to
3 hands at the same time. Simply place wagers in the betting circles
to either side of the centre seat if you want to play additional
hands. It makes the game much more interesting and increases your
chances of winning.
A player begins by placing a starting bet ("ante") in
the Ante circle and then clicking the Deal button.
Players are dealt five cards face up while the dealer is dealt
four cards face down and one card face up. Players then evaluate
their hands and decide on one of two options:
Fold – Play stops and the player loses the ante bet
Play – The player places an additional wager in the Bet area.
Known as the "Back Bet", this must be double the amount
of the Ante wager.
The dealer's hand is revealed and compared to the player's hand
(if player's hand is still in play).
The dealer must qualify, however, with a hand consisting of an
Ace and a King (Ace/King) or better. If the dealer fails to qualify,
the player receives even money on the amount wagered on the Ante,
while the Back Bet is a push (in other words, no money is paid on
the additional wager made after the cards were dealt).
If the dealer qualifies with an Ace/King or better, and if the
dealer's hand is higher than the player's hand, then the player
loses both wagers (the Ante and the Back Bet). If the player's hand
is higher than the dealer's hand, the player receives even money
on the Ante wager and a bonus amount wagered for the Back Bet based
on the following chart:
Player's Hand Jackpot Payout
One Pair or less 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a Kind 3:1
Straight 4:1
Flush 5:1
Full House 7:1
Four of a Kind 20:1
Straight Flush 50:1
Royal Flush 100:1
In the case of a Tie, where the player's hand is of equal rank with
the dealer's hand, both bets are a push (neither paid nor taken).
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT:
Players can participate in the optional Progressive Jackpot. The
amount of the current Jackpot is reflected in the upper right-hand
corner of the table.
The Progressive Jackpot wager is $1.00 per hand. To participate,
insert a $1 chip into the slot above the Ante circle for each hand
you want to be eligible for a Progressive Jackpot payout. If you
are playing multiple hands per deal, you must place a jackpot bet
for each hand position you are playing in order for each hand result
to qualify for a jackpot payout.
Regardless of the outcome of the poker hand against the dealer,
any player holding a Jackpot hand who has wagered the Progressive
Jackpot for that hand will receive a jackpot payout according to
the following chart:
Player's Hand Jackpot Payout
Flush $50
Full House $100
Four of a Kind $500
Straight Flush 10% of Jackpot
Royal Flush 100% of Jackpot

Game Controls
Deal — Starts the game by dealing a hand to each player who
placed an Ante bet and to the dealer. Deal is inactive until at
least one Ante circle has at least a minimum bet.
Re-Bet — Places the same wager amounts on the same Ante circles
as you had for the previous hand. If you wish, you may modify these
amounts prior to clicking the Deal button.
Clear — Clears all wagers from the table and returns the
amounts to your balance.
Once the Deal button is clicked, these first three controls disappear
and cards are dealt to each player position with an Ante bet. Then
the following two controls appear at each position in turn, starting
from right to left.
Play — Keeps this hand in the game and automatically places
the Back Bet (2 times the Ante bet) in the Bet circle (deducting
that amount from your balance). Play passes to the next position
or, if this is the last position, the dealer's hand is revealed
to determine win/lose/tie for any hands that did not fold.
Fold — Ends the hand for this position and the player loses
the Ante bet. Play passes to the next position or, if this is the
last position, the dealer's hand is revealed to determine win/lose/tie
for any hands that did not fold.
