Invented in the 1980s specifically to attract poker players to the main [casino](http://www.xshideserver.com:3000/josiecastiglia) floor, Caribbean Stud is a fantastic, fast-paced table game.
+
The game moves incredibly quickly, relying purely on standard poker hand rankings and a few simple, rigid strategic decisions.
+How to Start a Game of Caribbean Stud +
The dealer then deals themselves five cards, but crucially, turns their very last card completely face up for the entire table to see.
+
They must either "Fold" and immediately lose their Ante, or "Call" (also known as "Play") by placing a bet exactly twice the size of their Ante.
+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" +Understanding the Dealer's Hand +
However, before the hands are even compared, the dealer's hand must absolutely meet a minimum required strength known as "qualifying."
+
Crucially, if the dealer does not qualify, the player's massive "Call" bet simply pushes (ties) and is returned, regardless of how strong the player's hand was.
+How to Win at Caribbean Stud +
The golden rule is incredibly simple: Always fold any hand weaker than Ace-King, and always play any hand containing a Pair or better.
+
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.

Just be prepared for the agonizing frustration of holding a Full House right as the dealer turns over a miserable, non-qualifying Jack-high hand.
