What is Caribbean Stud?

Caribbean Stud is a five-card poker game where you play against the dealer rather than other players. You see all your cards before deciding to raise or fold, and you can even see one of the dealer's cards. Strong hands pay progressive multipliers on the Play bet, with Royal Flush paying 1000:1. It's one of the most dramatic table games in the casino when big hands hit.

What are my chances of winning at Caribbean Stud?

Caribbean Stud returns about 94.8% of all bets over time, which gives the house around 5.2%. That's a bit higher than some other games, but Caribbean Stud makes up for it with its exciting pay table — Royal Flush at 1000:1, Straight Flush at 50:1, and Four of a Kind at 20:1. Following the raise/fold strategy correctly is the most important thing you can do to get good odds.

Can I really win $1,000,000 playing Caribbean Stud?

Yes! Enable Millionaire Mode and every hand is a shot at $1,000,000. The jackpot fires when the Golden Event triggers during a hand where you're holding a Royal Flush. Your regular payouts are halved while Millionaire Mode is active, but Caribbean Stud is special because the jackpot condition is the same hand that already pays the highest base game payout — so a Royal Flush in Millionaire Mode wins twice.

Is Caribbean Stud rigged?

Caribbean Stud is provably fair — every hand is cryptographically sealed before the deal. The casino shows you a hash fingerprint of its secret seed before any card is drawn. After your session, the secret is revealed and you can verify every hand using free tools. The system is completely transparent and independently auditable.

Can I play Caribbean Stud with crypto?

Caribbean Stud is fully playable with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT, and other popular cryptocurrencies at WickedBet. All winnings are paid in crypto directly to your account, including the $1,000,000 Millionaire Mode jackpot. No banking required, no delays, no conversion fees.

Any tips for playing Caribbean Stud?

The key rule: always raise with a pair or better, always fold with less than Ace-King. With Ace-King, raise if the dealer shows a card that matches one in your hand — this is a useful enough approximation for beginners. The most important thing is to fold weak hands consistently rather than calling out of curiosity. Every unnecessary raise costs you money when you have garbage.

How to Play

Caribbean Stud is poker at its most straightforward. Place your Ante, get five cards, and decide: are you in or are you out? At EvoJacks, you play against the dealer, not other players. Your five cards are dealt face-up, and you can see one of the dealer's five cards. If you like your hand, Raise for double your Ante. If not, Fold and move on to the next hand.

The twist is that the dealer has to qualify with at least Ace-King. If the dealer does not qualify, you win 1:1 on the Ante and your Raise comes back to you. If the dealer does qualify and you beat them, the Ante still pays 1:1 and the Raise pays based on your hand strength — all the way up to 100:1 for a Royal Flush.

There are no community cards, no draws, and no multi-round betting. One look at your hand, one decision, and the result plays out. The simplicity makes Caribbean Stud a great entry point for players who want poker payouts without the complexity of Hold'em or multi-street games. The single visible dealer card gives you just enough information to make an informed Raise or Fold decision on every hand.

Side Bets

Caribbean Stud includes the 5+1 Bonus — a side bet that combines your five cards with the dealer's visible card. The extra card creates more hand combinations, so stronger hands like Three of a Kind and Straights appear more often than in a standard five-card deal. The side bet pays regardless of whether you win or lose the main hand.

5+1 Bonus

Takes your 5 cards and the dealer's up-card to find the best poker hand from 6 cards. Three of a Kind or better pays out, and a Royal Flush hits 1000:1.

Hand	Payout
Royal Flush	1000:1
Straight Flush	200:1
Four of a Kind	100:1
Full House	20:1
Flush	15:1
Straight	10:1
Three of a Kind	7:1

The 5+1 Bonus is evaluated before the Raise or Fold decision, so it pays even if you fold the main hand. A hand that is too weak to raise might still contain a Three of a Kind or Flush when the dealer's up-card is factored in, giving the side bet value independent of your main game strategy.

Millionaire Mode

Add a $1 side bet for a shot at $1,000,000. Seven cards are evaluated for the spade straight flush: 8♠ 9♠ 10♠ J♠ Q♠ K♠ A♠. Your 5 cards plus the dealer's up-card plus 1 bonus card drawn from the deck = 7 cards evaluated.

Matching Cards	Payout
7 of 7 — Complete Straight Flush	$1,000,000
6 of 7	$3,000
5 of 7	$200
4 of 7	$15
3 of 7	$8
2 of 7	$1

Provably Fair

Every hand is locked in before you bet. The server commits a SHA-256 hash of its random seed, and the deck order is fixed at that point. After the hand, the raw seed is revealed so you can verify it. No one can change the outcome once your bet is placed. Your client seed and a per-round nonce add your own randomness to the mix, and you can check any hand from the game history panel at any time.
