How To Play Caribbean Poker

Caribbean Poker is played with a deck of 52 cards. In order to participate in the game, you must first place an ante bet. You are then dealt a hand of five cards. The dealer also receives five cards; four face down and one open card. In Caribbean Poker, no new cards are dealt. The player and the dealer compare hands formed from their five cards. When you have looked at your cards and the dealer's open card, you must decide whether to make a bet and challenge the dealer's hand or to surrender. If you wish to challenge the dealer, you must place a bet by pressing the BET button. The bet is always equal to twice the ante. If you do not wish to challenge the dealer's hand, you must opt to press FOLD and lose 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.

Dealer must qualify

In Caribbean Poker, the dealer's hand must contain at least one Ace and King in order to qualify. All winning hands automatically qualify (One pair and up). If the dealer's hand does not qualify, you receive 1 to 1 on your ante only, 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. In cases where the player or the dealer don't have winning hands, the highest card wins.

For example:

• Dealer's hand: A, K, J, 8, 3
• Player's hand: A, K, Q, 3, 2

Player would win since Queen is higher than a Jack.

Push

When the dealer and the player receive poker hands of equal value (i.e. a push game), both the ante and the bet are returned to the player.
