Caribbean Stud Poker Rules

As the name Caribbean Stud Poker already implies, this is one of the most popular games in south pacific clubs and aboard cruise ships. It is based on 5 Card Stud and is played on a special table similar to a Black Jack table.

Before the game starts each player has to make a bet, which is called your ante. In addition to your ante you now have another option called the progressive jackpot, making the game much more interesting. As explained below this progressive jackpot offers additional payoffs but also demands another wager of $1. Five cards are dealt to each player, face down. The dealer himself will also receive five cards but he will turn over his fifth dealt card for all players to see. Now, seeing your five cards and one of the dealers, you have two choices. If you feel you can't beat the dealers hand and you decide to fold simply throw your cards on the table and you are out, hereby losing your ante. On the other side if you think you can beat the dealer's hand you must make an additional bet called a call bet. This bet has to be exactly double the amount of your ante, no more, no less. After the players have made their decision the dealer will flip over his remaining four cards. He must at least have an Ace-King combination or higher to even qualify for play. If the dealer can't open the players who did not fold, automatically win the ante but the call bet will simply be returned without any further payout. In case the dealer does qualify he will then start comparing his hand with the players. For you to win, you have to beat the dealers hand according to the regular poker ranks. If your hand beats the dealer's your ante is returned and your call bet is paid out depending on the strength of your hand. Losing the hand means losing your ante and your call bet.

Payouts!

Progressive Jackpot!

This option is offered in most casinos. As mentioned above, to go for the progressive jackpot you have to make an additional wager of one dollar to your ante bet. This is done simply by dropping a coin or a chip into a coin slot located in front of each player. The current amount of the jackpot is shown in digital displays on each table. Once you make this bet, and have any of the hand listed below, you are guaranteed a payout regardless if you beat the dealers hand or not. The jackpot is shared if two players have the same hand in one game.

Once there was a millionaire, who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool in back of his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single (of course).

One day he decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, "My dear guests...I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars or my daughter to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!"

As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large SPLASH!! There was one guy in the pool swimming with all he could...the crowd cheered him on as he kept stroking. Finally, he made it to the other side unharmed.

The millionaire was impressed. He said, "My boy that was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! Well I must keep my end of the bargain...which do you want, my daughter or the one million dollars?"

The guy says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't want your daughter! I want the person who pushed me in that WATER!!!



Two Kentuckians drove to a gas station in Indiana for a fill-up because they heard about a contest being offered by the station to patrons who purchase a full tank of gas. When they went inside to pay, the men asked the attendant about the contest.

"If you win, you're entitled to free sex," said the attendant.

"How do we enter?" asked the Kentuckian.

"Well, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. If you guess right, you win free sex."

"O.K. I guess 7," said the Kentuckian.

"Sorry, I was thinking of 8," replied the attendant.

The next week, the two Kentuckians returned to the same station to get gas. When they went inside to pay, the one Kentuckian asked the attendant if the contest was still going on.

"Sure," replied the attendant. "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. If you guess right, you win free sex. "

"Two," said the Kentuckian.

"Sorry, I was thinking of 3," replied the attendant. "Come back soon and try again."

As they walked back to the car, the one Kentuckian said to the other, "You know, I'm beginning to think this contest is rigged."

"No way," said the other. "My wife won twice last week."




A computer programmer and an engineer were sitting next to each other on a transcontinental flight. The programmer leaned over to the engineer and asked whether he would like to play a game. The engineer only wanted to take a nap, so he politely declined, rolled over toward the window and closed his eyes.

The programmer persisted and stated that the game was both very easy and a lot of fun. He explained "I ask you a question - if you don't know the answer, you pay me five bucks. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay five bucks to you."

Again, the Engineer politely declined and closed his eyes. The programmer, somewhat agitated, said, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me five bucks, but if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you fifty bucks!"

This caught the engineer's attention, and - seeing no end to his torment unless he played the game - agreed to play. The programmer asked the first question: "What's the distance between the Earth and the Moon?"

The engineer wordlessly reached into his wallet, pulled out a five dollar bill and handed it to the programmer.

Now it was the engineer's turn. He asked the programmer: "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?" The programmer looked puzzled, then took out his laptop computer and searched through all his reference material. He tapped into the AirPhonex with his modem and searched through the Internet and the Library of
Congress, all to no avail. Then he sent urgent E-mail inquiries to all of his brightest colleagues, but could find no help anywhere.

After an hour or so he woke the engineer and forked over $50. The engineer accepted the money politely and closed his eyes again.

The programmer, more than slightly frustrated, shook the engineer's shoulder and demanded, "So, what's the answer?".

The engineer just smiled, reached again into his wallet, handed the programmer a five dollar bill, and went right back to sleep.
