Can you explain the rules of Caribbean Stud Poker step by step?
Hi all, could someone give me a run-down on the rules for Caribbean Stud Poker ? Like, placing a bet, the deal, betting, dealer qualification, payout, etc.

In Caribbean Stud, the traditional poker game, you start by putting an ante in the pot to take part. You receive five cards, as does the dealer. You view your hand and either fold or raise. Folding costs you the ante; raising requires a wager equal to double your ante.
Finally, the dealer turns up his cards. The dealer needs A-K or better. If he doesn’t have it, you win your ante and raise bets, even money off each. If he does have it, you compare your hand against his. If you win, collect both bets, even money. If you push, you push. If you lose, you lose both bets.
Then there is an optional Progressive Jackpot bet. This generally requires a straight or higher to pay anything, with the royal flush taking the top prize. Check the paytable at your casino before playing. Easy, fun, exciting, and ideal for any poker player craving a change of pace. Clear?
Caribbean Stud Poker is easy. Put down the ante, get five cards, dealer shows one card. Bet 2-4 times the ante if you think you have a good hand. Dealer must have ace-king to see your cards. Lose, and you lose, if dealer doesn't qualify, dealer matches your ante, otherwise, if you win, you get paid 1:1 on the ante and the bet. Also, there's a progressive jackpot for straight and up hands. Caribbean Stud is less favorable than video poker, but it's a blast to play.
