Definitions

- the present invention relates to methods for playing seven card stud and five card draw poker variants including an optional progressive jackpot feature, and more particularly relates to particular variations of the CARIBBEAN STUD (registered trademark) poker variant disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,,836,553 and including an optional progressive jackpot component as disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,861,041 and 5,078,405.
- CARIBBEAN STUD registered trademark
- Figure 1 depicts a flow chart illustrating the manner of play of a seven card stud poker variant including an optional progressive jackpot wager according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 depicts a flow chart illustrating the manner of play of a five card draw poker variant including an optional progressive jackpot wager according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- live casino game is intended to encompass a game in which the house acts as the banker, the house collecting all losing wagers and paying all winning wagers. The dealer is employed by the house and each player plays exclusively against the house.
- Caribbean Stud (TM) poker as set forth in detail in U.S. Patent No. 4,836,553, which issued on June 6, 1989 to James P. Suttle and Daniel A. Jones, any number of decks of cards may be used, but in the preferred embodiment, a single deck of standard playing cards is used which is reshuffled after each round is played.
- the dealer shuffles the cards, each player makes an ante by placing a token or chip in a designated ante area, and then the dealer deals one card at a time to each player and then one card to himself until each player and the dealer has a five card hand. All of each player's cards are dealt face down, while four of the dealer's cards are dealt face down and the other card face up.
- Each player may look at his five card hand and each player then decides whether his five card hand has a favorable probability of ultimately beating the dealer's five card hand. The player is assisted in this determination because the player can see one of the dealer's cards.
- the priority of winning hands is determined by the conventional rules of poker. As is known to those skilled in the art, five card poker hands are ranked according to the following order with a Royal Flush being the highest winning hand:
- the player If a player determines that his hand will not beat the dealer's hand, the player folds or drops, i.e., discontinues playing that hand.
- the dealer wins the player's ante and takes the player's token from the ante area on the playing surface and places it in a chip rack.
- the player determines that his hand may beat the dealer's hand, then the player indicates his willingness to continue play by placing a bet in a bet area on the playing surface.
- the bet made by the player is preferably equal to a multiple (e.g., double) of whatever the player originally anted.
- the game does not go forward, and the dealer pays each remaining player a predetermined amount, e.g., one-to-one odds on the amount of the player's ante.
- a predetermined rank or minimum play level e.g., an Ace-King combination or better
- the game does not go forward, and the dealer pays each remaining player a predetermined amount, e.g., one-to-one odds on the amount of the player's ante.
- the amount of the player's bet is simply returned to the player. All cards are collected, the dealer shuffles the cards and the next round can be played.
- the dealer has a poker hand of at least the preselected rank or minimum (Ace-King or better) , then play proceeds and each remaining player's hand is compared to the dealer's hand. If the dealer's hand is higher based on the conventional priority or ranking of five card poker hands, then the dealer wins and he collects both the player's ante and bet. If the dealer's and player's hands are equal, the hand is ruled a tie and the player keeps his bet and his ante.
- the dealer also pays the winning player a second predetermined amount, e.g., one-to-one odds on his bet unless the player has received a hand which exceeds a minimum win level, in which case, instead of paying one- to-one odds, the dealer pays the player a bonus payment on the amount of the player's bet based on the type of poker hand that the player has.
- the Caribbean Stud (TM) Poker game has been provided with an optional progressive jackpot component, the construction and manner of operation of which is described in detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,861,041 and 5,078,405, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein.

- a bet wager which preferably must be exactly twice the initial ante wager, the minimum and maximum amount of which is set by the house or casino.

If the dealer wins versus a particular player, the dealer wins even money on the ante and bet wagers. If any particular player wins versus the dealer, the player is paid even money on the ante wager and is also paid on the bet wager according to a predetermined bonus payoff table set forth hereinafter.
