.: Caribbean Holdem Poker Casino Game

This game can also be called Casino Hold'Em

Caribbean Holdem is a game related to the popular Caribbean Stud poker. In fact, the progressive jackpots are often tied together to allow them to grow faster. Both games, along with Caribbean draw poker, require a royal flush to be dealt to win the full progressive jackpot.

Differences from Caribbean Stud Poker
1. No dealer cards are exposed
2. The dealer and player share 5 community cards. Each have 2 pocket cards.
3. 5 cards are initially revealed before the call or fold option... After the bet, 2 additional cards are dealt. The best 5 card poker hand is made from the 7 cards
4. Many casinos offer this game with a higher limit

Typical Hand Payouts
Royal Flush - 100X Straight Flush - 20X Four of a Kind - 10X Full House - 3X Flush - 2X Straight - Even Money 3 of a Kind - Even Money 2 Pair - Even Money One Pair - Even Money Highest Card - Even Money

Strategy There really isn't an optimal play strategy as each hand has so many options. However, as no dealer cards are revealed (and their hand is only two different than yours), you should rarely fold. The overall house edge in the game is about 2-3%, so just play on your instinct!
