If you plan to play your hand, you have to make another bet, which is double the amount that you placed on the ante bet. For example, if you bet $5 on the ante bet, your next bet has to be $10. When all players at your table have decided whether they are going to play or fold, the dealer reveals their hand. If the dealer does not have an ace-king, they will fold and the hand is finished. Players still playing Caribbean stud poker will receive even odds on their ante bet but the second bet they made is simply given back to them with no additional winnings.
The dealer has to play his hand if there is at least an ace-king or better, and if your hand beats the dealer’s, you get even odds on the ante bet. But for the secondary bet, you receive 2/1 odds for a pair and it can go all the way up to 100/1 for a royal flush.
Those are just the basic rules for online Caribbean stud poker and with a few hands, you will figure out more complex strategies to get the better of the house.
