Caribbean Poker is a casino game with rules similar to five-card stud poker. The game originated in the Caribbean islands and soon spread to casinos in America and Europe. However, unlike standard poker games, Caribbean poker is played against the house rather than against other players.
Objective
The objective of Caribbean Poker is to beat the dealer’s hand by receiving a higher poker hand.
Cards
Caribbean Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck. Cards are shuffled after each round.
The individual cards are ranked in the following descending order: Ace (high or low), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. The Ace can be the highest-value card in a straight of A, K, Q, J, 10, or the lowest-value card in a straight of 5, 4, 3, 2, A.

Play
Play begins by placing an Ante bet. You can also make a Jackpot bet to participate in a progressive Jackpot game and get some bonus payouts.
Click DEAL. You are dealt 5 cards face up while the dealer is dealt 4 cards face down and 1 card face up. You need to evaluate your hand and decide on one of two options:
- Fold – by clicking FOLD you lose all bets placed (both the Ante and the Jackpot bet). The game is over.
- Raise – by clicking RAISE you continue playing and place an additional bet that equals twice your Ante bet. The dealer’s cards are revealed. Both hands are evaluated.
Game Outcomes
The dealer’s hand must contain at least an Ace or King to qualify.
If the dealer does not qualify, the Ante bet is paid 1:1, while the Raise bet is returned to you.
If the dealer qualifies the dealer’s and the player’s hands are compared:
- If your hand is lower than the dealer’s, you lose both the Ante and the Raise bets.
- If the dealer’s hand ties with your hand, both the Ante and the Raise bets are returned.
- If your hand beats the Dealer’s, then the Ante bet is paid 1:1 and the Raise bet is paid according to the paytable listed below.

Hand Ranking
- If you and the dealer have hands of the same type, the hand that includes the card of higher value wins (e.g. 3 Kings beats 3 Queens; a flush of A, 6, 5, 4, 3 beats a flush of K, J, 10, 8, 7).
- If the hands are of the same type and value, the next highest card that is not part of the paying hand, known as the kicker, determines the winner.
