Caribbean Poker
(or Caribbean Stud)
Caribbean
poker holds similarities to both blackjack and video 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.
If Player
and the House tie, it is a push and no one wins. Ace and 10
(Blackjack) on the first two cards dealt is an automatic
Player win at 1.5 to 1, unless the house ties.
The rules The player antes, and is
then dealt a five-card hand; the dealer is also dealt five
cards of which only one is exposed. The player now either
folds, losing his ante, or bets an additional amount equal to
exactly twice the ante. The dealer then reveals his remaining
four cards. If the dealer's hand is not Ace-King or better,
the player is paid even money on the ante and nothing (i.e., a
push) on the bet.
If the
dealer's hand is Ace-King or better it is said to "qualify"
(for play against the player). In that case if the dealer's
hand is better than the player's, the player's ante and bet
are collected by the house. If the dealer's qualifying hand is
worse than the player's hand, the player is paid even money on
the ante and an amount on the bet according to the player's
hand as follows:
