Odds on Hitting the Caribbean Stud Progressive

One of the casinos favorite tricks is to offer progressive jackpots that lure players into hoping that they are going to walk out that night rich and live happily ever after. Caribbean Stud is one of those games that offers this exciting option. Let’s say you walk into your local casino and see the progressive total is at $55,200 for a royal flush. How good a wager, and when is it mathematically in your favor and what is a good Caribbean Stud poker strategy? Casino expert Mark Pilarski takes a stab at these questions.

He starts out by not recommending this wager to anyone. First, note there are 2,598,960 possible poker hands using a standard 52-card deck. Now divide that figure by four (the different suits) and you’ll come up with 649,740. Because you don’t get to draw any cards in Caribbean Stud, this mathematically is the odds of hitting a royal. One in 649,740 is too big a differential from the $55,200 they plan on paying you for him to endorse this play.
