2: The Progressive Jackpot
Placing a dollar
side bet for the bonus jackpot is
one of the worst bets you can make
in the casino. You should avoid
wasting a dollar by making this
bet. Take a look at the chart of
the payoffs.

Hand Dollar Jackpot Odds Against
Flush $50
508 to 1
Full House $75
693 to 1
Four of a kind $100
4,164 to 1
Straight Flush 10% of Progressive
Jackpot
64,973 to 1
Royal Flush 100% of Progressive
Jackpot
649,740 to 1
You need a flush
or higher to qualify for one of
the bonus payouts and the money
you win when you receive one of
these hands is not close to the
odds of doing so. You will make
a flush once every 508 hands and
for this the casino will pay you
$50 dollars. I think you can see
why this is a bad bet.
If for some reason
you decide to make the side bet
you should know that you are eligible
for the jackpot even if the dealer's
hand does not qualify. You must
inform the dealer immediately before
they pick up the cards. Normally
the dealer will pick up all the
cards without turning them over.
Make sure you speak up.
That is about all
you need to know to play Caribbean
Stud. Give it a try but stay away
form the side bet.
Until next time,
remember:
"Luck comes and goes...Knowledge
stays forever."
