Many Irish casino players avoid Caribbean stud because it is not often played and therefore not fully understood but it is in fact simplicity itself. The game starts by you placing an ante bet which can be anything within the table limits but you should remember that should you wish to play the hand your next bet is double the ante bet so if you want to play for €30 per hand your ante bet should be €10. After the ante bet is placed the cards will be dealt with only one of the dealers cards showing from which information you must decide whether you can beat the dealer or not and ether place an additional bet or fold the hand and lose your ante. In online casino Caribbean stud the dealer must have what is called a qualifying hand in order to play and that is generally an Ace/King or better so if you have elected to play and the dealers hand does not qualify you win your ante bet at odds of 1:1 but your raise bet is simply returned. Caribbean stud is very quick and easy to learn so give it a go at your chosen online casino.
