Carribran Stud Poker is one of the popular card games offered here in the Betfair Casino. To get going first you must click on the chips to place an ante. If you want to remove chips from the ante, then right click on the chips on the table.

Progressive Jackpot Side Bet:

This game also includes the option of a progressive jackpot side bet - to play click on the coin slit above the Ante field on card table. At this stage the blinking light above the slit will turn green. The cost will be £1, out of which a certain percentage goes to the progressive jackpot pool. Should you get a flush or higher, you will win a certain percentage of the jackpot (see the winnings table on the left side of the playing area). The current size of the jackpot is shown on the left side of the table.

To get your cards dealt click on Deal. You will be dealt a five-card hand, face up. There will be no additional cards for the duration of this game round.

At this point you'll have to decide whether to stay in or fold. If you fold (click on Fold button), you will lose your ante and this game round ends for you.

If you stay (click on Call), you have to double the amount of your ante to the bet.

Now you'll see the dealer's cards. They will be flipped over so everyone can see them. If the dealer's hand does not include an Ace/King combination or higher, the dealer does not qualify. This would mean that you win even money (1 to 1) on the ante and the additional bet is returned.

If the dealer's hand includes a combination that is higher than yours, you will lose both the ante and the additional bet.

If the dealer's hand contains an Ace/King or higher, but your hand is higher, then you win even money on the ante and the additional bet pays according to the winnings table.

Jackpot

In this game the progressive Jackpot is in play and you could be the winner. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in the Betfair Casino is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player will win the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).

When a Jackpot has been won, a new pot will be started and will be seeded by the Casino to ensure there is always money in the pot. This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, there is still a big win for you.

Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.

Please note:

• In some games there is a specific bet you need to make to be eligible for the Jackpot.

• If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point will be remembered by the casino; this means that the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.

• If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), then the casino will notify you of this.

The Jackpot for this game works like this:

Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with):	5 000 x the jackpot bet.
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot):	75%
Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot):	Royal Flush
Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot):	Place the jackpot bet.
