Caribbean Hold'em

Caribbean Hold'em is a fun casino game that brings some excitement into the casino.  The game is well set up and gives you the choice of folding your hand or raising your bet after you have seen the flop.  You are playing against the dealer which can not fold no matter what hand he is holding.  This is a great game that involves poker knowledge, skill, strategy and some luck.
    The objective of Caribbean Holdem is to make a better poker hand than the dealer's poker hand.  You will need to place an ante bet, but you can also play for the progressive bonus.  Generally it is good idea to play the progressive, because the regret you will feel for not winning jackpot after a Royal Flush is not worth the dollar you would have saved.

How to play Caribbean Hold'em

It is easy to play Caribbean Hold'em at the Instant Play Casino with your $1000 play money bankroll.  To begin playing you will need to decide how much you want to wager and whether or not you want to play for the progressive bonus.  If you are planning on playing the progressive bonus you will need to click on the red lit circle so that a gold chip will be placed on top of it.  This verifies that you are playing the $1 progressive bet.
    To play the Caribbean Hold'em game you will need to place a wager (no more than a 1/3 of your bankroll) on the "Ante" circle.  You do this by clicking on the "Ante" circle and by clicking on the playing chips located at the bottom right corner.  When you are ready you will need to press the "Deal" button.
    Two cards will be dealt face down for the dealer's hand, your two cards will be dealt face up and the first three community cards (the flop) will be dealt face up after you have pressed the deal button.  At this time you will need to decide whether you want to fold by pressing the "Fold" button or raise your bet by pressing the "Raise" button.  The raise bet will be twice the size of your ante bet.  After the raise bet two more community cards will be dealt face up.
    If you folded your hand you will have lost your Ante bet.  If you have raised your bet, then one of three situations will arise.  Note: The dealer's and your poker hand will use the five community cards and the two hole cards to make the best possible poker hand.
(1) The dealer will not qualify (a hand worse than a pair of fours) and you will be paid out 1:1 on your ante bet and your raise bet will be pushed back.
(2) The dealer will qualify and have a lesser hand than you.  If this happens you will be paid 1:1 on your raise bet and 1:1 to 100:1 on your ante bet depending on your poker hand.  You can view the Ante Bet pay out table below.
(3) The dealer will have a qualified hand and a better hand than you.  If this happens you will lose your ante bet and your raised bet.
