Procedure of Play
The object of Caribbean Poker is to beat the dealer's five card poker
hand. Players winnings are determined by beating the dealer's hand and
by the poker hand the player has. The better the poker hand, the better
the player's win would be.
The player starts by placing the ante bet in the appropriate
betting area. This ante must meet the table minimums and maximums. Once
the player has done this the player is dealt 5 cards, face up and the
dealer is dealt four cards face down with the fifth card dealt face up.
At this point the player decides whether or not raise
or fold. If the player folds, the player loses the ante and a new round
begins. If the player raises, the player doubles his or her bet and the
dealer's cards are revealed. The dealer must qualify with at least an
Ace/King combination. If the dealer fails to qualify the player automatically
wins the ante bet but the raise portion of the bet is considered a push
and is given back to the player.
If the dealer qualifies, the player's hand is compared
to the dealer's hand. If the player's hand wins then the player is paid
out according to the payout chart which can be viewed by clicking on the
"View Payouts" button. If the player's hand loses then all bets,
the ante and the raise, are lost and a new round begins.
Progessive Jackpot
There is a side bet available to the player that is played outside of
the dealer's hand. Regardless of what the dealer's hand is or whether
or not the dealer qualifies, the player is still has a chance of winning
based on the value of the player's hand. The player is required to have
a minimum of a flush to win. This bet is made by clicking on the On/Off
button to the right of the progessive jackpot meter. If the button displays
"On" then the player will be participating in progressive wager
for each hand. If the button displays "Off" then the player
will not be eligible for progressive jackpot wins. The progressive jackpot
side bet costs $1.00 per hand.
The Joker
The joker can only be used to complete a straight, flush, or straight
flush, otherwise it is treated as an ace.
