Caribbean Stud Poker Pay Table
In Caribbean Poker you can place three types of bets, the Ante bet,
the Call bet and the progressive Side bet. If you win the Ante bet
you are paid out even money. The payout on the two remaining bets
depends on the pay table used.
Ante bet
You are paid even money on your Ante bet, if the dealer doesn't qualify,
or if the dealer *does* qualify, but your hand beat the dealers' hand.
Call bet
You are paid on your Call bet, if you beat the dealer's hand, and
the dealer *does* qualify. The bonus pay table used to calculate your
winnings on your Call bet can vary between casinos. In the following
table we've listed the standard payout schedule found in most casinos,
as well as the pay tables used by Microgaming's Cyber
Stud Poker and Cryptologic's Spice
Island Poker.

You are advised to check if the casino where you play Caribbean
Stud Poker imposes a maximum limit on the Call bet payout. Suppose
a casino pays a maximum of $10,000 on your Call bet. Your Call bet
should then *not* exceed $10,000 divided by 100, as the maximum
payout in the table above is 100 to 1 for the Royal Flush (assuming
standard pay off, see the second column). Since your maximum Call
bet in this example should be $100, your maximum Ante bet should
be $50, because your Call bet is always twice as much as your Ante
bet.
Side bet
If you have placed the $1 Side bet, to be eligible for the progressive
jackpot payout, you will get paid if your hand is listed in the progressive
jackpot pay table or schedule, independent of the fact the dealer
qualifies or not. Though progressive payout tables and jackpot reset
values vary per casino, the payout schedule listed in the second column
of the following table is used most often in Caribbean Poker. We've
also listed the pay off tables used in Microgaming's
CyberStud Poker (third column) and Cryptologic's
Spice Island Poker (fourth column).

If you play Caribbean Stud at a multi-player table, and more than
one player qualifies for the progressive jackpot payout on the Royal
Flush, your winnings will depend on the policy that's in place at
the casino:
 |
Almost always the jackpot winnings are shared
equally by the qualifying players. |
|
Sometimes the player sitting left to the dealer
wins the whole jackpot, and other players only win the reset
value of the jackpot. |
