+<br>Invented in the 1980s specifically to attract poker players to the main [casino](https://gitea.ontoast.uk/briannaschurr5) floor, Caribbean Stud is a fantastic, fast-paced table game.<br>
+<br>Furthermore, Caribbean Stud is famous for offering a massive, life-changing progressive jackpot side bet that can reach millions of dollars.<br>
+The Core Mechanics of the Game
+<br>The dealer then deals themselves five cards, but crucially, turns their very last card completely face up for the entire table to see.<br>
+<br>Based on the strength of their own hand and the single visible dealer card, the player must make one massive, critical decision.<br>
+The game uses standard five-card poker rankings (e.g., Flush, Full House)Players only compete against the dealer, never against each otherThe initial mandatory bet is called the "Ante"
+The Dealer Qualification Rule
+<br>To mathematically qualify, the dealer's five-card hand must contain an Ace and a King, or any higher standard poker combination (like a Pair).<br>
+<br>This qualification rule is the primary source of frustration for players, as getting a massive hand when the dealer doesn't qualify results in a tiny payout.<br>
+Optimal Strategy and the Progressive Jackpot
+<br>If you hold exactly Ace-King, the strategy becomes slightly more complex, depending entirely on the dealer's single exposed "upcard."<br>
+<br>Aside from the main game, Caribbean Stud is famous for its optional $1 progressive jackpot side bet.<br>
