Caribbean Poker 888 IT - Jackpot Review

Caribbean Poker is a Poker-style game, in which the player competes, one on one, against the dealer with hands formed from 5 cards. 888Casino`s Caribbean Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck. To start the game, the player must place an "Ante Bet". The dealer then gives each player 5 cards face-up. The dealer also receives 5 cards; four cards dealt face down, and one card face up.

When the player looks at his/her cards, and the dealer`s Up Card, the player either challenges the dealer`s hand, by placing a bet, or surrenders. The "Challenge Bet" is always equal to twice the Ante Bet. If the player chooses to "Surrender", the Ante Bet is lost.

When a Challenge Bet is made, the dealer reveals his 4 remaining cards, and the hands are then compared.

Dealer Must Qualify
In order to qualify, the dealer`s hand must contain at least an Ace and a King or better. If the dealer`s hand does not qualify, the players receive a 1 to 1 payout on their Ante Bet, and the Challenge Bet is returned without winnings.

Should the dealer`s hand qualify, the player`s and dealer`s hands are then compared, and the best hand wins. A player`s winning hand receives 1 to 1 on the Ante Bet, plus the winnings on the Challenge Bet. If the hands are equal, it is considered a "Push", and both the Ante Bet and the Challenge Bet are returned to the player.
