Caribbean Draw Poker Rules are very easy to understand. You start every hand by putting up an ante, which is set up by table house rules. You will then get five cards which will be placed face down. The dealer will also get 5 cards but the last one will be placed face up. After this you can choose a maximum of 2 cards to be discarded. You will receive new cards and now you need to decide whether to fold or call. If you call then you need to place an additional amount that is double the antes and the entire hand will go towards a showdown. The dealer will also draw two cards. After the call has been made the dealer needs to have a hand that has a minimum strength of a pair of 8s. If this happens then we see a showdown. If the hand does not qualify then you are paid even money. When showdowns happen the best hand wins and if the player wins then a fixed amount will be paid based on the strength of the winning hand. In most cases you should know that the dealer hand will not qualify so it is quite easy to stay in even money at this game on a long term basis.

Although Caribbean Draw Poker rules are very easy to understand, there are a lot of people out there that are missing out on the possibility of also dealing with the progressive jackpot. In order to be entitled to bonuses you will need to make an extra side bet on every hand that you pay. If your ending wining hand is of certain strength you will get a bonus of part of the progressive jackpot or even the entire jackpot when you land a Royal Flush. You should know that when your hand is a minimum of a flush you can expect at least $50 as bonus. Higher bonuses are given on stronger hands.
