In the beginning of every game of Caribbean poker the player is supposed to make an ante bet. Most players would make a bet on the progressive jackpot too, but this is optional. Afterwards the dealer would deal five cards both to the player and to himself. The cards come from a regular deck of 52 cards. Only one of dealer’s cards is open and the player can see it. After checking his cards and the cards of the dealer the player can either keep playing or fold. If he wants to keep playing he is supposed to double the initial ante bet. For the player to qualify, his hands must have a poker combination or at least an ace and a king. Just like in most types of poker, royal flush is the strongest hand.
