Lesson 10
Caribbean Poker
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. We also offer big $1 progressive
jackpots and bonus payoffs!
In order to
participate in the game, 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 below winnings table:
