Caribbean Stud Poker Hands & Payouts

In Caribbean Stud Poker, even with a 'small hand' you still have a chance to win some cedi! The dealer needs at least an Ace and a King to qualify. If the dealer doesn't qualify, you get even money on your initial bet, and your raise is returned. But be warned, if the dealer *does* qualify with a better hand than yours, you lose both your initial bet and your raise. So, even though a small hand *can* win, be careful!

Not all casinos are created equal! Payout structures for Caribbean Stud can vary. While the *overall* returns might be similar, some casinos might offer slightly better odds on certain hands. Plus, some sites feature a progressive jackpot – that pot keeps growing until someone hits it big! The jackpot amount depends on the casino and how long it's been since someone last won. So, shop around and compare!

Knowing when to 'chook' (raise) and when to 'drop' (fold) is key. A good rule of thumb? Raise if you have a pair or better. If you have less than Ace-King, it's usually best to fold. Now, if you *do* have Ace-King, raise if the dealer's up card matches one of your cards. But if the dealer is showing an Ace or King, and you *don't* have one, better to surrender your bet. Stick to these basics, and you'll increase your chances of winning some cool cash!
