Progressive Caribbean Poker

Aim of the game:
Beat the dealer's qualifying poker hand with the best poker hand possible. A Royal Flush (with a $1 jackpot side-bet) wins you the progressive jackpot amount.

How to play:
You begin with an Ante bet, and if you want to play for the progressive jackpot, an optional $1 jackpot side-bet. You will be dealt a five-card hand, face up. The dealer also receives five cards - one face up the othe four face down. No additional cards will be dealt for the duration of this game round.

You then decide whether to Bet or Fold. If you Fold (click on Fold button), you will lose your Ante and jackpot side-bet and this game round is over. If you Bet, you add double the amount of your ante to the bet.

Now the dealer’s cards are flipped over and compared to your hand. If the dealer’s hand does not include an Ace/King combination or higher, the dealer does not qualify. You win even money (1 to 1) on the Ante and the additional bet is returned.

If the dealer’s hand qualifies and includes a combination that is higher than yours, you lose both the ante and the additional bet. If the dealer’s hand qualifies, but your hand is higher, you win even money on the ante and the additional bet pays according to the winnings table...
