♣ Caribbean Poker Objective:
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.
♣ 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:
