» About
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 center 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:

rank with the dealer’s hand, both bets are a push (neither
paid nor taken).
