How to Play Caribbean Poker
Short Description:
Casino-on-Net's Caribbean Poker is a Poker-style game,
in which the player competes, one on one, against the
dealer. At the end of the hand, the player and dealer
compare hands formed from their five cards. The player's
goal is to beat the dealer's hand.
Caribbean Poker Rules:
Caribbean Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck
of cards. To start the game, the player must first place
an "Ante Bet". The dealer then gives each player five
cards face-up. (On Public and Group tables the other
members' cards will appear to be dealt face down.) The
dealer also receives five cards; four cards dealt face
down, and one card face up.
When the player looks at his/her cards, and the dealer's
Up Card, the player either challenges the dealer's hand,
by placing a bet, or surrenders. The "Challenge Bet"
is always equal to twice the Ante Bet. If the player
chooses to "Surrender", the Ante Bet is lost.
When a Challenge Bet is made, the dealer reveals his
four remaining cards, and the hands are then compared.
In order to qualify, the dealer's hand must contain
at least one Ace and one King or better. If the dealer's
hand does not qualify, the players receive a 1 to 1
payout on their Ante Bet, and the Challenge Bet is returned
without additional winnings.
Should the dealer's hand qualify (with a value of at
least one Ace and one King), the player's and dealer's
hands are then compared, and the best hand wins (see
Poker Hand Value Chart below). A player's winning hand
receives 1 to 1 on the Ante Bet, plus the winnings on
the Challenge Bet, which are calculated according to
the hand's value (see "Payoff" column of Poker Hand
Value Chart below).
Push
When the dealer's and the player's hands are equal,
it is considered a "Push", and both the Ante Bet and
the Challenge Bet are returned to the player.
