Not to be confused with the American version by the same name, Caribbean Stud Poker has quickly become one of the fastest growing casino games in the world.

Why is this game so popular? Simple, it's easy to play, the odds are fair and the payouts can be very profitable. It also shares some of the same unique characteristics as its American cousin---Players aren't wagering against each other, as in regular poker, rather they're playing against the dealer. This helps to eliminate any unnecessary intimidation that often occurs in regular poker. Another great feature is the progressive jackpot to be won-making game play much more fun and exciting.

So what is the objective of the game. That's easy! To beat the dealer's poker hand with your own. To start the game, both you and the dealer are dealt five cards. You can look at all of your cards right away and the dealer has one card turned up (face card) for you to see. There are no draw cards in Caribbean Stud Poker so you play the entire game with the cards you are dealt with from the beginning. From these five cards, you win if your hand has a higher poker ranking than that of the dealer's (see the chart below for poker hand rankings). It is that easy!
