Rules

Progressive Caribbean Poker is played with a deck of 52 cards. In order to participate, you must first place a starting bet. In addition to this you can place a Jackpot-bet. You will then be dealt a hand with five cards. Your cards will be face up, but the other players' cards will be dealt face down. The dealer also receives five cards, of those four will be dealt face down and one face up. In Progressive Caribbean Poker the player and the dealer compare their five card hands. No further cards are dealt.

Once you have looked at your cards and the dealer's faced up card, you decide whether you want to bet against the dealer's hand or give up. If you would like to challenge the dealer, you must place a bet by clicking on BET. The bet is always double the starting bet (ANTE). If you do not want to bet against the dealer's hand, click on "GIVE UP". You then lose your starting bet. Once you have placed your bet, the dealer's remaining four cards will be turned over and your hand will be compared with the dealer's.

In Progressive Caribbean Poker the dealer's hand must contain at least one Ace and a King, in order to qualify. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, you get 1 to 1 on your starting bet. Your bet will be returned to you without a payout.

If the dealer's hand qualifies with a value of at least one Ace and a King, the highest hand wins. If you win, you receive 1 to 1 on your starting bet plus the winnings on your bet, which is calculated using the payout table.

If the player and the dealer have a poker hand with the same value, both the starting bet and the bet are returned to the player.

Glossary entries for this article:

  • Ante

    A small sum of money placed in the pot by each player.

  • Button

    Virtual dealer marker moved from player to player in a clockwise direction after each hand. The player on the button always acts last. Consequently the player left of the button, in the first position, always acts first.

  • Limit

    The dollar value of the blind. Defines how "big" the game is. Obviously, you need a much larger stack to play a $50-limit game than a $0.50 game.

  • Results

    Here you can find the results of all sporting events in the betting line-up ordered by either name or date on which it was held.

  • Total

    In "Total" betting, the bet is placed not on the result of an event but rather on the total number of points obtained in the event. Example: The visiting team are the New York Jets (OVER 55), the home team the Buffalo Bills (UNDER 55). Both are priced at 1.91. If you think that more than 55 points (OVER 55) will be scored in this event (by both teams together) - then you will choose bet 1 (because OVER 55 is written next to it). If you think that less than 55 points will be scored in this match (once again by both teams together) - i.e. UNDER 55 - then you will choose bet 2.
