THE GAME
The Caribbean Poker is a game of 5 card with odds paid for higher winning hands.
FOR PLAY
A player begins by placing his bet. The player receives 5 cards face down while the dealer receives four cards face down and one visible. The player then evaluates his hand and chooses one of two options:
- Fold – the player loses the amount of its initial
- Suit – The player places an additional bet in the betting area to be double the original amount bet.
The dealer then shows his hand and compares it with the player, if he is still in. The dealer must qualify with an Ace / King or better.
If the dealer fails to qualify, the player receives the amount of his original bet but the bet is still.
If the dealer qualifies with a hand Ace / King and the latter is higher than the player, the player loses the ante and the bet.
