Caribbean
(Stud) 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.
In order to participate in the game, you must first place
an "ante bet". Don't forget to add your 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:
