Overview
Caribbean Stud is a table game comparing five-card hands against a dealer. It differs from multi-player poker competing for a shared pot.
The shape of a round
Cards are dealt with some dealer information exposed. After permitted player decisions, the dealer hand is revealed and checked for qualification.
Equipment
Cards, a table layout and variant-specific dealing equipment.
Common terminology
Stud identifies a fixed dealing format. Dealer qualification determines whether the dealer hand meets the required condition.
