About Cyberstud Poker
Cyberstud Poker is a table game developed by Microgaming. It has innovative gameplay incorporating a progressive jackpot that is considered one of the most attractive features. It is based on the regular version known as Caribbean stud poker. The excellent graphics and catchy soundtrack give players a realistic poker game experience. A compulsory jackpot wager of one credit is required in addition to the regular bet before each round. The game is played against the house instead of other players.
The game's return to player ratio is 97.54%, and the betting range is from a minimum of £1 to a maximum of £100. The game is played using a standard deck of 52 cards. The cards are shuffled before every deal. The objective is to beat the dealer's hand by compiling the best possible five-card hand. Command buttons including 'Hold,' 'Call,' and 'Deal' are at the screen's bottom.
Special Features
Before the game begins, the player is required to place two bets. The first is the ante bet which the player can adjust to suit the much they would wish to play for. The second bet amounting to one credit contributes toward the progressive jackpot. The Deal button triggers the game to begin, and the player receives five cards. The dealer gets only one card which the player sees. After evaluating their combination, the player then decides whether to continue playing or fold. If they choose to fold, the player loses the ante bet and their progressive jackpot contribution. Should the player continue playing, they must place a bet double the original bet. The dealer then receives an additional four cards. The cards are then compared. If the dealer does not have at least an Ace and a King, the player automatically wins and receives back their call and ante bets. If the dealer qualifies and beats the player, the player loses their ante and call bet and the progressive jackpot contribution. Should the dealer qualify and the player's hand beats the dealer's, the player gets a 1-1 payout on the ante bet, and the strength of their hand determines how much they receive from the call bet.
Bonus feature
To win the entire progressive jackpot, a player needs to land a Royal Flush-10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace of the same suit. However, a player can also win a portion of the jackpot for other hands. For instance, a straight flush earns the player 20,000 credits, four of a kind pays out 500 credits, while a whole house is worth 100 credits. The outstanding graphics that bring out an authentic casino feel compounded with the progressive jackpot make Cyberstud Poker irresistible to any player.
