Invented in the 1980s specifically to attract poker players to the main casino floor, Caribbean Stud is a fantastic, fast-paced table game.

Furthermore, Caribbean Stud is famous for offering a massive, life-changing progressive jackpot side bet that can reach millions of dollars.
The Basic Rules: Ante and Deal
Every round of Caribbean Stud begins with the player placing a mandatory initial wager known as the "Ante" bet.

Players are now allowed to pick up their five cards and quietly examine their hand to determine its poker strength.
The dealer always exposes exactly one of their five cards face upFolding immediately surrenders the Ante bet to the houseCalling requires placing a bet exactly double the size of the Ante Understanding the Dealer's Hand
If the player decides to "Call" and double their bet, the dealer flips over their remaining four hidden cards to reveal their hand.

If the dealer fails to qualify (e.g., they only have Queen-high), the player instantly wins even money (1:1) on their Ante bet.
How to Win at Caribbean Stud
If you hold exactly Ace-King, the strategy becomes slightly more complex, depending entirely on the dealer's single exposed "upcard."

While the house edge on this specific side bet is astronomically high (often over 25%), the lure of a multi-million dollar payout makes it incredibly popular.
