Caribbean Stud Poker from Net Entertainment

Among the list of poker variants, Caribbean Stud Poker is one of the most exciting. It's a high stakes game that can get really expensive for novice players, so it's best to keep it steady while you're learning the ropes. Net Entertainment has compiled a superb version of this game. It's fast-paced, exciting and richly rewarding.

Here's how to play it

• Place a bet called the ante. It is also possible to place a bet on a progressive jackpot.
• Then the player and dealer are dealt a 5-card hand. Only one of the dealer's cards is face up.
• Make a decision whether to hold or to fold. If you fold you lose your ante bet, if you stay you must double your ante. (This is why it gets expensive - so watch your ante bet!)
• If you're still in the hunt, then the dealer checks out his/her cards. The dealer needs a minimum of an Ace and King. If this is not the case - the player wins even money on the ante and the additional bet is paid out too. If the dealer holds an Ace and King then both hands are compared.

Payouts can get huge with a Royal Flush paying 200 to 1 (100% Jackpot Bonus), a Straight Flush 50 to 1 (2500 for 1 Jackpot Bonus), Four of a Kind 20 to 1 (250 Jackpot Bonus), Full House 7 to 1 (125 Jackpot Bonus) and a Straight 4 to 1 (10 for 1 Jackpot Bonus).
