Caribbean Poker
Over the last few years, Caribbean Poker has become a very popular
casino game. If you like poker, you will love Caribbean Poker! Each
player competes only against the dealer, independently of other
players. Your goal is to beat the dealer's hand.
You can play Caribbean Poker online right now at the Grand
Online Casino. There, the play goes as follows:
The Game
You compete against the dealer for the best 5-card poker hand.
How to Play
By placing an initial wager, called an "ante", you begin
playing. After clicking on DEAL, you are dealt a five-card hand
face-up; the dealer is also dealt five cards of which one is exposed.
You now choose whether to Surrender ("fold"), losing the
ante, or to Bet ("call") an additional amount equal to
twice the ante. The dealer then reveals his remaining four cards.
When the dealer's hand does not include an Ace and King or better,
you are paid even money on the ante and nothing on the bet (a "push").
When the dealer's hand includes an Ace and King or better, it qualifies
for play against you. When the dealer's qualifying hand is better
than your hand, the house collects your ante and your bet. When
your hand is better than the dealer’s qualifying hand, you
are paid even money on the ante and an amount on the bet according
to the your hand (as shown in the following table).
