General Caribbean Poker Guidelines
The Caribbean Poker game is "run" by a single dealer using a standard single card deck. On the Caribbean Poker table, you will see an area marked "BET" and an area marked "ANTE". All players must make the obligatory Ante bet (each player places an equal amount of money or chips into the pot before the deal begins) in the ANTE area directly in front of them. The dealer and each player will then receive five cards, face down. The dealer then reveals one card of the dealers set. At this point, each player can then evaluate their own hand and decide whether to stay in the game and up their bet (raise), or fold.
If the player "raises", he/she then has to put twice his ante bet in the "raise" box. If the player folds, they then relinquish their cards to the dealer, who will also collect their ante bet.
After all players have made their plays, the dealer then reveals his own cards. For the dealer to continue, the dealer hand must have an Ace and King, or be a poker hand that outranks an Ace King hand. If he does not qualify with this, then all remaining ante bets pay even money and all raise bets push. If the dealer does qualify, then each remaining player hand is individually compared against the dealer's hand, and the best poker hand wins in each case.
How to play Caribbean Poker at the Golden Palace Online Casino
Playing Caribbean Poker using the Golden Palace's free casino software is as easy as the steps below. First however, you will need to download and install our software, and you may do this at any time by clicking the "Play Caribbean Poker" image above, and then following the quick and simple steps.
How to play Caribbean poker using our software:
- After installing the software, select either the option to "Play For Fun" or "Play For Real Money".
- Within the casino software, select "Caribbean Poker" from the "Progressive Games" menu listing on the left.
- Click on the chips to place an ante. To remove chips from the ante, right click on the chips on the table. You also have the option to make the progressive jackpot side bet – click on the coin slit above the Ante field on card table. The blinking light above the slit turns green. It costs $1, out of which a certain percentage goes to the progressive jackpot pool. If you get a flush or higher, you win a certain percentage of the jackpot (see the winnings table on the left side of the playing area). The current size of the jackpot is shown on the left side of the table.
- Now click on "Deal" to deal the cards. You will be dealt a five-card hand, face up. No additional cards will be dealt for the duration of this game round.
- Decide whether to stay in or fold. If you fold (click on Fold button), you will lose your ante and this game round is over for you. If you stay (click on Call), you add double the amount of your ante to the bet.
- Now the dealer's cards are flipped over for everyone to see them. If the dealer's hand does not include an Ace/King combination or higher, the dealer does not qualify. You then win even money (1 to 1) on the ante and the additional bet is returned. If the dealer's hand includes a combination that is higher than yours, you lose both the ante and the additional bet. If the dealer's hand contains an Ace/King or higher, but your hand is higher, you win even money on the ante and the additional bet pays according to the winnings table.
