How to Play Caribbean Stud Poker Free

Free Caribbean stud poker has the structure of the five-card stud poker. The difference between Caribbean stud and the other standard poker games is that in Caribbean Stud poker, the player’s opponent is the house rather than the other players. Also, the player may not draw and improve their hand, and bluffing is irrelevant.

Players have to place their free coins/dollars bet on the ante. Both the player and the dealer will receive five cards. Players will be able to see all their cards and only one of the dealer’s cards. The player then has to decide whether or not they have the best hand. If the player thinks they have the best hand, they will ‘call’ and double their bet. The dealer’s hand will then be shown. If the player is doubtful that they have the best hand and chose to fold they will lose their ante.

Winning Hands in Stud Poker

• Royal Flush: the hand is made up of Jack, Queen, King, 10, and Ace all of the same suit.
• Straight Flush: the hand is made up of five consecutive cards all of the same suit.
• Four of a Kind: the hand is made up of four alike cards.
• Full house: the hand is made up of three alike cards and a pair.
• Flush: the hand is made up of any five cards from the same suit.
• Straight: a hand made up five consecutive cards that are not of the same suit.
• Three of a kind: a hand made up of three alike cards.
• Two Pairs: the hand has two pairs.
• One Pair: the hand only has one pair.

The dealer’s qualifying hand is a hand that has an Ace and King. If the dealer does not have a qualifying hand, you will get even money on your ante even if the dealer’s hand is better. If the dealer does have a qualifying hand, the hand will be compared and the better hand wins. If the player wins, they will be paid according to the below payout table:

• Royal Flush – 100: 1
• Straight Flush – 50:1
• Four of a Kind – 20:1
• Full House – 7:1
• Flush – 5:1
• Straight – 4:1
• Three of a kind – 3:1
• Two Pair – 2:1
• One Pair – 1:1
