"Hi, I'm Black Jack, and I'm here to show you how to play Caribbean stud poker. It's a very popular game on cruise ships and in casinos. Basically, you have seven players and you will be playing against the dealer, not each other. One of the things you'll find out is there...at each casino or each cruise ship will have a progressive jackpot, which is an optional bet. And each place will determine what that is. For our demonstration purposes, our one player here has decided to put some money in the progressive jackpot. All right. Now, the dealer will deal the cards, but you also will have to have placed in your ante, all right? So I'm going to deal five cards to each player down, and then four cards to the dealer, with the last card being up. Now, each player will look at their cards, and not showing them to anybody else, seeing if they want to stick around. For our demonstration purposes, these four people have decided to fold, so their money goes into the dealer. They are folding, all right? Our other two people have decided to stick around. They have to double their ante like so. Now, you'll bring up the cards. The dealer will bring up his cards. He has the ability. He has to have something better than an ace or a king. In our purposes, he has a pair of aces, so these two players have to beat that. Our first player has three jacks, our second player here has two queens. He, in fact, will lose. This person here will win because his three jacks have beat the dealer. A lot of fun. I think you're going to enjoy it. That is Caribbean stud poker."
