<br>Invented in the 1980s specifically to attract poker players to the main [casino](http://koogigardens.com/author/haydenhatten52/) 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>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.<br>
The dealer always exposes exactly one of their five cards face upFolding immediately surrenders the Ante bet to the houseCalling requires placing a bet exactly double the size of the Ante
Why the Dealer Must Qualify
<br>However, before the hands are even compared, the dealer's hand must absolutely meet a minimum required strength known as "qualifying."<br>
<br>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.<br>
How to Win at Caribbean Stud
<br>If you hold exactly Ace-King, the strategy becomes slightly more complex, depending entirely on the dealer's single exposed "upcard."<br>
<br>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.<br>
