Caribbean Stud Glossary
- Ace-King: The absolute lowest hand in Caribbean Stud that ranks, also the smallest hand that a dealer can qualify with.
- Ante: Initial bet placed before cards are dealt and hands are played.
- Ante Box: Box in front of a player where they place their ante before a hand is dealt.
- Dealer: Casino employee who deals out cards at the table. They also serve as the banker in this case and it is their hand that each player must beat in order to win.
- Fold: Occurs when a player decides to give up their hand instead of making a bet and playing further.
- Hierarchy of Hands: Ranking of hands starting from highest to lowest. An Ace-King high is the lowest ranking hand and a Royal Flush is the absolute highest.
- Payout Table: Chart that shows what odds are paid out on each type of hand if the player wins against the dealer's qualifying hand.
- Progressive Jackpot: Side jackpot that can be won if a player bets on it and hits an eligible hand. This is separate from the action taking place on the table between the dealer and players.
- Progressive Jackpot Box: Area to the side of a player where they place their chips to bet on the Progressive jackpot. This is a completely optional bet and is separate from any action taking place between a dealer and player during a hand.
- Push: The result of a hand that is tied between dealer and player. Neither wins or loses, and the player gets to keep their ante and bet with no payout.
