INTRODUCTION
Evolution Gaming’s Live Caribbean Stud Poker brings this new ruleset to a brand new audience! In this game, both player and dealer have their own five-card hand, with the stronger hand taking the win. Like other Live casino poker games, the size of your prize is determined by hand strength. The video quality is top notch, and is dynamically adjusted based on your internet speed. We also enjoyed the professional behavior of the dealers and how the deck was shuffled quickly.
The RTP for Live Caribbean Stud Poker is 96.30%, assuming that you play every round perfectly. Evolution Gaming’s release offers us a single side bet, called the 5+1 bonus. To win that special feature, you need to form a qualifying five-card poker hand with your cards and the dealer’s up card.
HOW TO PLAY LIVE CARIBBEAN STUD POKER
You play this game with all punters occupying a single seat. This allows an unlimited number of people to play this title without having to wait for their turn. When the round starts, players will be given a choice of coins. Pick those coins, and place them on either the Ante and Bonus bets. You are able to adjust your wager until the timer hits zero.
When that happens, the dealer will start placing cards on the table. The dealer draws five cards for both himself and the player, and places them on the table. The players’ five cards are dealt face up. Meanwhile, only one of the dealer’s cards is visible, while the other four remain hidden. At that point, you decide if you want to keep playing or if you plan to fold. You have to place a wager worth 2x your Ante to keep playing the round.
The dealer will then proceed to reveal his other four cards. If they have a Ace/King or higher, then they qualify for the round. If the dealer fails to qualify, it results in an Ante bet win and a Play bet push. Otherwise, the results will be determined by who has the stronger hand. If the punter wins, then his prize will be awarded in accordance to the paytable.
EXTRA FEATURES
5+1 Bonus Bet is an optional side bet, formed by combining your five cards and the dealer’s first face up card. These six cards have to form a valid five-card poker hand that is at least a three-of-a-kind or better. The stronger the hand, the better the payout. The most rewarding prize you can earn from this special feature is a 1000:1 payout for the always-rare royal flush!
PAYOUTS
Provided you beat the dealer, you will receive a prize in accordance to the paytable. You can see it by mousing over the upper left corner of the screen. You can also tap or click the little pin to make the paytable permanently visible. The main bet wagers are far more subdued compared to the rewards offered by the side bet. Winning the royal flush on the Ante bet will result in a 100:1 payout. Not bad, but far from the mouth-watering 1000:1 jackpot.
what we like
- Professional dealers and great video quality
- No waiting times thanks to unlimited seats
- Optional high risk, high reward side bet
what we don’t like
- Deck is manually reshuffled after every round, slowing the game down
- We would like to see more side bets
LIVE CARIBBEAN STUD POKER (EVOLUTION GAMING): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT
Despite using more cards than Live Casino Hold’em, this game manages to be simpler. There are no fundamental differences between the two, apart from a few rule changes and a different side bet. Pick this title if you want a slightly different poker experience, or if you want to try your luck at winning the 1000:1 grand prize. While it may not play all that differently from the base game, it still manages to feel unique and exciting.
