Cyberstud Poker Progressive

Cyberstud Progressive Poker Online

Slot Machines at SuperSlotsProgressive games were once exclusively found on slot machines. The main attraction of a progressive game, regardless of where you play it, is to form a hand that results in large amounts of cash -- most of these games have specific combinations of cards or other gaming tools which result in a player winning that elusive progressive jackpot.

CyberStud Poker Rules

The programming studs at Microgaming systems have a gem in CyberStud Progressive Poker. Based on the highly popular Cyberstud poker game (which pits player versus dealer in a poker "showdown" of sorts), this game follows traditional poker rules, to a point, and offers a progressive jackpot chance along the way, as well as side games for even more winning opportunities. Cyberstud is a card game that pits your poker and wagering skills against that of the dealer. Your objective is to beat the dealer's poker hand, though there are smaller objectives along the way.

CyberStud Poker Progressive Jackpot

CyberStud Poker ProgressiveThe progressive feature of the game is a longshot: to win the CyberStud Poker progressive jackpot, a player will have to hold three royal flush hands in a row in any one session. The odds are long (around 997,000,000:1 by my math) but the money is worth the compulsory bet. That's right, another machine with a compulsory bet -- you're the one playing for a huge jackpot, you should be aware that there's going to be some kind of "catch". As in most Microgaming progressives, the compulsory bet is 1 credit per hand, paid into the progressive fund for eventual payout to some lucky customer. So how do you play?

Cyber Stud Poker Betting

Much of the Cyber Stud Poker betting follows rules you'll be familiar with. Having placed a bet before the cards are dealt -- known as an ante -- you receive five cards while the dealer draws just one card. Based on what cards you have in your hand and how they might play against the dealer's card, you must decide whether to increase your stake (or "bet") and maximize your winnings or to fold and minimize your losses.

If you decide to place a wager on your hand, the dealer receives four further cards with the outcome of the game based on their standard poker value. Just you and the dealer, head to head and face to face.

CyberStud Poker Tricks

Online Slot Machines from Golden CasinoThere are a couple of CyberStud Poker tricks along the way -- for instance, if the dealer's hand does not contain one Ace and one King, the dealer's hand doesn't "qualify", and you win automatically. On the flip side, when you fold (as in all poker games) you lose your ante no matter what cards the dealer has. If you have decided to be and the dealer does not qualify you receive double your ante -- plus, your bet is returned to you. Pretty sweet odds for a minor victory.

Now, should the dealer's hand qualify, the two hands are compared. If you have a better hand you will be paid out on your bet, according to the game's payout schedule, plus double your original ante. If the value of your hand and the dealer's hand is equal, and the game ends in a tie, the winner will be the one with the highest ranking card.
