Game Play 

• The game is played on a modified Blackjack table using a standard 52 card deck.
• Each player has two betting squares, one marked Ante and one marked Bet plus a slot for $1 Bonus Jackpot bets.
• Play begins with players placing their wager in the Ante section.
• Players may make an optional Jackpot bet by placing a $1 chip into the Jackpot slot.
• Each player is dealt 5 cards, face down.
• The Dealer's hand is dealt with one card facing up for all players to see.
• Players may not show their cards to or discuss their cards with other players.
• Players unhappy with their hand may elect to fold, losing their Ante bet and leaving game play.
• Players who think they can beat the dealer make a Bet wager (Also referred to as "Call bet" or "Calling the Dealer") by placing their chips in the area marked "Bet".
• The Bet wager MUST be exactly twice the amount of the player's initial Ante wager. 
• The dealer reveals his hand.
• If the dealer's hand does not have at least an Ace-King or better he fails to qualify and all players who did not fold win with payouts at even money (1 to 1) for the Ante wagers regardless of their hands. Bet wagers are returned to the player without any extra payout.
• If the dealer has an Ace-King or better, he qualifies and players compare their hands to the dealer's (See Poker Hand Ranking Table).
• Players with hands ranking lower than the dealer's hand  lose their Ante wager AND their Bet wager.
• Players with hands ranking higher than the dealer's win an amount specified by the Caribbean Stud Poker Payout Table.
• Equal hands are a tie and no money is won or lost.
• Players who made $1 Bonus bets win an amount specified in the Bonus Payout Chart regardless of whether the dealer's hand qualifies.

Caribbean Stud Poker Payout Table:

**Caution: In most casinos there is a limit on the amount of money that is paid out for a Royal Flush and that limit may be less than the amount you are entitled to win according to the payout chart.  In some casinos this limit is as low as $10,000.  This means that if you had $15 on the table when you hit the Royal Flush you should win $15,000 but the casino would only pay you the house limit of $10,000.  Ask the dealer if there is a limit for payouts before you begin play and place your wagers accordingly.
