Caribbean Stud Rules.

Overview

Developed from Poker; this game is a relatively new-found casino game that is fast becoming very popular. It was developed by David Sklansky, who is a Poker professional from Las Vegas.

The Play.
Once everyone makes a bet, the dealer gives out one card at a time until everyone including the dealer has 5 cards facing downward. The dealer's final card is placed facing upward. Everyone looks at their hand and decides whether they want to fold, forfeit their bet, or play their hand, whereby they place a bet equivalent to the bet. No one can show their hand to anyone else or converse about their hand in any way.

The only hand a dealer can play is A, K, a pair, or better. If the dealer isn’t eligible, who ever is still in that hand wins the pot, and that hand is done. But if the dealer has A, K, or better: the game carries on and everyone, in turn, exposes their hand of 5 cards. A person will win the added bet placed if their hand beats the dealer's. They are paid a larger sum if they have 2 pairs and higher.
