✨ Caribbean Stud Poker Rules



31 OCTOBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3299

(d) in the case of odd cards, the respective card values of the highest card in each hand shall determine the ranking; if these are the same, the values of the next highest cards, and so on.

13.4 If two hands are exactly equal the hand shall be declared a stand off.

13.5 A player is responsible for declaring his/her optimum poker hand.

14.0 Irregularities

14.1 Except as expressly permitted by these rules, players may not exchange cards, or exchange, communicate, or cause to be exchanged or communicated any information regarding their hand; any violation of this rule may result in the player’s hand being declared a "dead hand", i.e. the player will forfeit ante and bet wagers and any right to participate in the jackpot prize.

14.2 The casino manager or shift manager may direct that:

(a) only English be spoken by the players at the table;

(b) there be silence while a hand is in progress;

(c) players suspected of collusion be restricted from playing together at the same table.

14.3 Where an incorrect number of cards is dealt to any player or to the dealer this shall constitute a misdeal or void hand.

14.4 Where an exposed card is dealt this shall not constitute a misdeal. The dealer shall turn the card over and continue dealing, subject to rule 14.6.

14.5 Where more than one card is exposed in error this will constitute a misdeal.

14.6 If a card is exposed in error to the dealer’s hand, such card shall be left exposed as the dealer’s face up card and the dealer’s fifth card shall be dealt face down.

14.7 If any cards are dealt to a wagering area without an ante wager before completion of the deal, the dealer shall collect all the cards, count them, reshuffle and redeal.

14.8 If a complete hand is dealt to a box without an ante wager, the cards from that hand shall be counted and placed in the discard rack. The game will then continue in accordance with these rules.

14.9 If after the initial deal the dealer discovers that there are not fifty-two cards in the deck in use at the table, the hand shall constitute a misdeal and be void.
