RTG Caribbean Stud Poker

RTG's version of Caribbean Poker can closely resemble standard Caribbean Stud Poker. However, because RTG allows it's licensees to customize their casino software, it's possible that individual RTG casinos offer higher than average pay tables on the Call bet and/or the progressive Side bet. In this section we will give you some general information about RTG Caribbean Stud, especially how it compares to "standard" Caribbean Stud Poker, and how it can be customized.

Real Time Gaming offers it's casinos a choice between three different pay tables. The first is the same as a standard Caribbean Stud Poker pay table, and thus has the same 5.22% house edge. The second has a higher than standard payout on the Royal Flush, and thus a lower than standard house edge, i.e. 5.207489892%. The third table is the most generous one, and results in a house edge of 4.975367168%. More information about the calculations made to derive the house edge for the respective pay tables is available in PDF format here: pay table I, pay table II and pay table III. Most RTG casinos only offer the first (standard) pay table.

Some RTG casinos offer a progressive jackpot for Caribbean Stud Poker. Not all RTG casinos though, because this is an optional feature RTG offers to it's licensees. If a RTG casino offers the progressive Caribbean Stud Poker jackpot, the payout's on the 4 of a kind, full house and the flush, can be customized. No matter what, the house edge on the progressive side bet will always be very high if the jackpot isn't high enough.
