Caribbean stud poker is a kind of casino table game that rules just like five card stud poker. Though, different from standard poker games, Caribbean stud poker is gambled in opposition to the house alternately against other participants. There is no bluffing or further cheating. For these causes, the majority poker players do not believe it to be a type of poker.

To gamble, each participant places his bet on the layout where specified; all stake wagers should be placed before the dealer declaring "No more bets". Every participants and the dealer will then take delivery of five cards, face down. After that, the dealer will turn over one of his cards, subsequently push the cards just before the gamblers, after which the gamblers might watch their cards. They might only glance at their own cards, and might not talk about what they have with any other participant at the table.

Gamblers have the choice to bet or fold; if they decide to participate, they place their stakes in the gambling box. If they decide to fold, they surrender their bet. Finally the participants have made their choices; the dealer exposes his complete cards. The dealer just plays with an ace/king or superior; he then evaluates his cards to the players' cards and the most excellent poker hand succeeds.
