The Caribbean Stud Poker is a variation, at the beginning of the game it catches the unprepared, and many players get confused and don't understand the mechanism of the game.   

Its name is mainly due to the great diffusion in the game rooms of Caribbean on the  cruise ships that  are directed to go to the Caribbean seas, a mass of these floating game rooms have adopted this variation of  traditional poker.  

The particularities of this game are practically two:  

1. The presence of a progressive jackpot that is increased by the bets of the players  
2. Each player plays alone against the bank.  

It plays with a pack of 52 cards and when the dealer has distributed 5 cards to the player he cannot change them anymore (in some versions as that practiced in the Casino of Champion, You can change one card to the cost of a small bet called the Ante), unlike the traditional poker where you have the possibility to change your cards.  

You have the opportunity of playing a very fast type of poker that allows you to have fast and high earnings in case of good cards but also of rapid exits from the table game in case of bad cards.  

A typical game of Caribbean Stud Poker could be reassumed in this sequence:  

Each player before receiving his cards has to make an Ante (a small bet) and has the possibility to position 1 dollar (or 1 European in case you play in Europe) in a special box on table game; this further bet is useful to the player to participate in the distribution of the progressive jackpot.  

In case the player wins on the bank or loses, he can participate in every case in the bonus given by the progressive jackpot.
