Casino Five Card Stud Poker
By Graham Clifford
Published on 11 December 2006

In the United States they call it Caribbean stud poker but in the U.K and Europe the same game is known as casino five card stud poker.

The basic rules on both sides of the Atlantic are the same with the exception of the payouts.

Casino five card stud is played against the house rather than against other players. There is no bluffing or other deception making many players believe its not really a form of poker.
Each player at the table place their ante bet to begin the game. It’s crucial that all ante wagers are placed before the dealer announces "No more bets". Each player and the dealer will then receive 5 cards all face down. The dealer will turn over one of his cards, then push the cards toward the players, after which the players may look at their cards. They may only look at their own cards, and may not discuss what they have with any other player.
After analyzing the hand dealt each players has the option to play or fold. If they decide to play, they place their bets which will be twice the amount of their respective ante. If they choose to fold, they forfeit their ante. After all the players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals his hole cards. The dealer only plays with an ace or king or higher – the dealer then compares his cards to the players' cards and the best poker hand wins.
Stud Poker comes in many different variations and describes card games where each player receives a mix of face-down and face-up cards dealt in multiple betting rounds.
Other forms of stud poker include seven card stud, Low hole card wild and Razz and London lowball.
