The goal in Caribbean Poker is to beat the dealer's hand with a winning five-card caribbean Poker game is based on the card rankings of five-card stud poker. in this game, the player bets against the house instead of other players.
The game starts when each player placing initial wager (ante). After all bets are placed, players receive five cards face down. The dealer also receives five cards. four cards face down and the final card face up.
Each player has to decide whether to stay in the game (raise) or quit the game (fold). If you decide to raise, you must place an additional wager, which is exactly twice the initial ante wager. If you decide to fold, you forfeit the ante wager.
Next, the dealer reveals his remaining four cards. The dealer must qualify to play by receiving a poker hand consisting of an Ace/King or higher. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, players will receive a 1-1 payout on ante bet and raise wager will be returned without additional winnings.
If the dealer's hand qualifies, all players that have a higher ranking hand than the dealers hand, are paid out 1 to 1 on their ante bets. If the dealers hand is higher in rank, player will lose both raise and ante wagers.
If the dealer's hand and a player hand tie (all five cards are identical in rank-suits are not considered), the ante and raise wagers are both considered pushes, and your bets will be returned.
