| Progressive Jackpot Caribbean Poker
The Game
In Caribbean Poker, you compete against the dealer for the best 5-card poker hand.
How to Play
By placing an initial wager, called an "ante", you begin playing. After clicking on DEAL, you are dealt a five-card hand face-up; the dealer is also dealt five cards of which one is exposed. You now choose whether to SURRENDER ("fold"), losing the ante, or to BET ("call") an additional amount equal to twice the ante. The dealer then reveals his remaining four cards. When the dealer's hand does not include an Ace and King or better, you are paid even money on the ante and nothing on the bet (a "push"). When the dealer's hand includes an Ace and King or better, it qualifies for play against you. When the dealer's qualifying hand is better than your hand, the house collects your ante and your bet. When your hand is better than the dealer’s qualifying hand, you are paid even money on the ante and an amount on the bet according to the your hand (as shown in the following table).

Betting
Place a bet by first left-clicking on a chip with the desired value, then left-clicking on the desired central betting location. The wagered chip will appear in the betting box. By right-clicking on a bet, you can remove it before the game begins. After placing a bet, you can add or subtract that amount by clicking in the betting box. If you click in the betting area instead of clicking on a chip, an amount equal to your last bet will be placed in the betting box. After completing a hand, click NEW GAME to clear the table. Press REPEAT BET to place an identical bet to your previous hand and begin a new game. Placing a bet in the betting locations manually, will remove the REPEAT BET option.
Progressive Jackpot
By clicking on the chip-slot mechanism (black with red lights) above the betting area you place a $1 wager that make you eligible for progressive jackpot payouts (listed below). If you are dealt one of the listed hands you win the prescribed amount whether or not you win the hand. A portion of all progressive wagers are fed into the progressive jackpot amount and raise the value of payouts that are a percentage of the total displayed at the top of the screen.
