The main point of the Caribbean Poker game

This is the game between the player and the dealer. The player has to get as good cards combination as possible. The player can make bets at one or several neighboring boxes of the playing table, but no more then 3 boxes. The bet at the each box shouldn’t be more then the maximum bet of the table and less then minimum bet of the table.

The way of the Caribbean Poker game

At first the player has to make bet “Ante”. The dealer gives five cards on each box with the bet and takes five cards for himself. All the cards are turned inside out, they are given one by one. The last card of the dealer is visible.

After the cards distribution the player can replace the cards in each box, except the box which plays closely. In that time the player has to add sum equal to the “Ante” bet or any other sum in correspondence with the rules of casino for each replaced card. Some casinos offer to change the only one card at the second time and pay two “Ante” for that.

The player can continue or stop the game after both the first and the second card changes. If the player refuses to continue the game he loses the “Ante” bet. If the player continues the game he has to set at the field “Bet” the sum equaled two “Ante”.

After player’s all cards operation in all boxes the dealer opens his cards. In case dealer doesn’t have any cards combination signed in table “Cards combination”, the player gets the win equaled to the one “Ante”, no matter the player’s cards combination. If the dealer has one of the cards combinations from the table “Cards combination” then both the player’s and the dealer’s combinations are compared. The winner is the player or the dealer with higher cards combination. If the winner is a player then he gets the win of “Ante” bet in size 1:1, and the win of “Bet” bet in dependence of the cards combination.

The “B” (Bonus) bet plays while cards distribution if the player has at once “Straight” combination or higher. If so the “B” bet wins with the correlation signed in table “Cards combination”. Otherwise the “B” bet loses.
