Caribbean
Poker - a $1 bet can change your life!
Caribbean poker has become the most popular new casino game in
the last few years. If you like poker, you will love Caribbean
Poker! The player plays against the dealer, independently of other
players. Your goal as the player is to beat the dealer's hand.
The exciting aspect of the game is that you can win big when you
least expect it. The international payoff standard for a royal
flush is 100 to 1. Giant progressive jackpots and bonus payoffs
are typical of caribbean stud poker!
In
order to play caribbean poker, you must first place an "ante
bet". Don't forget to add your $1 bonus bet! You are then
dealt a hand of five cards, all of them dealt face up. The dealer
also receives five cards; four cards dealt face down and one card
face up. You then have to decide whether to challenge the dealer's
hand or to surrender. If you wish to challenge the dealer you
must place a bet which is always equal to twice the ante. If you
surrender you loose your ante.
When
you receive a good hand, you naturally place a bet to challenge
the dealer. When the bet has been placed, the dealer reveals his
remaining four cards, and the hands are compared.
The
dealer's hand must contain at least one ace and one king in order
to qualify. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, you receive
1 to 1 on your ante, and your bet is returned to you without winnings.
If
the dealer's hand does qualify with a value of at least one ace
+ one king, the best hand wins. Your winning hand receives 1 to
1 on the ante plus the winnings on your bet, which are calculated
according to the winnings table shown here:
