Playing Caribbean Stud Poker in the U.K and Europe

There are some differences in the rules in U.K (and European) Casinos compared to the U.S. First of all, not all casinos in the U.K offer a progressive jackpot. Where the casino does not offer a progressive jackpot, the game is called ‘Casino 5 Card Stud Poker’. The number of casinos not offering a progressive jackpot is becoming fewer by the day as for keen gamblers, the lure of the progressive jackpot is the most attractive feature of Caribbean Stud.

The standard rules of Caribbean Stud remain the same in the U.K, however the payout structure is not as attractive. The payout for being dealt a Royal Flush and a Straight Flush is 50-1 in the U.K casinos, unlike the 100-1 payout for a Royal Flush in the U.S casinos.

There are also tighter betting limits in the U.K casinos, where the maximum ante is £100, meaning that the maximum raise is £200. This is different to the maximum bets in U.S casinos which can vary depending on its size, but is usually significantly higher.

On a final note, live casinos are excellent places to relax and play table games. The casino is more than happy to look after you with complementary food and services. These complementary services differ from casino to casino and from the stakes of the table you are playing at. Be sure to take advantage of it and enjoy the special treatment you are given!
