Caribbean Poker

Aim of the game:
Beat the dealer's qualifying poker hand with the best poker hand possible. A Royal Flush (with a jackpot side-bet) wins you the progressive jackpot.

How to play:
888 Casino's Caribbean Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck of cards. The game starts with you placing an "Ante Bet". The dealer then gives each player five cards face-up. (On Public tables the other player's cards will appear to be dealt face down.) The dealer also receives five cards; four cards dealt face down, and one card face up.

You then decide whether to challenge or surrender. If you surrender you will lose your ante and jackpot side-bet and this game round is over. If you choose to challenge the dealer's hand, you add a "Challenge Bet" equal to double the amount of your Ante.

When a Challenge Bet is made, the dealer reveals his four remaining cards, and the hands are then compared. If the dealer's hand does not qualify (Ace/King combination or better), you receive a 1 to 1 payout on your Ante Bet, and the Challenge Bet is returned without additional winnings. If the dealer's hand qualifies and yours is higher, you win even money on the Ante and the Challenge bet pays according to the winnings table below...

Royal Flush: 100 to 1
Straight Flush: 50 to 1
4 of a kind: 20 to 1
Full House: 7 to 1
Flush: 5 to 1
Straight: 4 to 1
3 of a kind: 3 to 1
