Caribbean Poker

Much the same as regular poker, Caribbean Poker requires that players place
an ante in order to be dealt cards. At online casinos, the ante is determined by
the player, but there is usually a maximum wager limit. Once the ante has been
placed, the player clicks deal and is issued five cards. The dealer receives the
same number of cards, but only one is dealt face-up for the player to see. The
player then assesses his cards against the dealer's face-up and determines his
course of action.
In Caribbean Poker, the aim is to secure a hand that trumps the dealer's. If
the player likes the hand he is dealt, he places a bet that is double his ante.
The dealer then reveals his remaining four cards and the winner is determined by
the highest value hand. In order to qualify, the dealer needs an Ace and a King
or higher. If he fails to qualify, the player is reimbursed his ante and bet. If
the dealer's hand equals the player's, it is termed a "push" and the player
retains his ante and bet. If the dealer's hand is strongest, the player loses
both his ante and his bet. If the player's hand beats the dealer's, the player
is paid on his bet according to the hand achieved and the ante is paid 1:1. The
standard win payouts for Caribbean Poker are as follows:
- 1 Pair or less: 1:1
- 2 Pair: 2:1
- 3 of a kind: 3:1
- Straight: 4:1
- Flush: 5:1
- Full House: 7:1
- Four of a kind: 20:1
- Straight Flush: 50:1
- Royal Flush: 100:1
Sometimes, casinos offer a progressive side bet on
their Caribbean poker games, and if the player chooses to play this option, they
are paid quite substantially according to the progressive win chart for hands
higher than a flush. This bet makes the casino a lot of money since top hands
are difficult to secure, but many players have literally "kicked themselves" for
not participating when dealt a Royal Flush.
Generally in Caribbean Poker, there are only two
major strategies to adhere to. Always old if you are unable to beat the dealer's
Ace/King or higher and always bet if you have a pair or higher.
