Caribbean Holdem Poker stands out as a variation (or better said sister casino game) of Caribbean Stud Poker and if you are a Mac user, read our Mac Caribbean Stud page to learn how to play it from your computer. Players are basically going to use one variation of the Texas Holdem game in trying to beat the online casino and even have the chance of winning a huge progressive jackpot in the event that a Royal Flush will be dealt in the first 5 cards. Similar to the stud variation, in the event that the gambler has at least one flush dealt as the first cards he/she will also get a bonus. Also, in some casinos the progressive jackpot that could be won will be shared with Caribbean Stud Poker. You can imagine that this can bring in quite an interesting bonus. Caribbean Holdem

In order to play you need to first place a bet and then click the Deal button. All table limits will be displayed on your monitor. You will receive two cards, face up, and the dealer gets 2 cards face down. Then, 3 community cards are to be dealt in a similar manner to the flop in Texas Holdem. In the event that you think your hand will be better than what the dealer has you hit the Call button. If not, you can fold. When you Call you will make another bet with a double value than the previous ante you put in. The next step is seeing two more cards, just like in Texas Holdem. The same hand making rules will apply. A winner is determined only in the event that the dealer has at least one minimum strength combination.

The interesting part of online Caribbean holdem is the fact that the game is really easy to play. You basically only have three buttons that you must press. The first one is Deal and will start a new game as soon as one bet is placed. The second is Call and is used when you want to continue your hand after the flop. The third one is Fold, in which you will be forfeiting the initial ante and give up the hand after seeing the flop.

Alternatively you can also put in an extra side bet that is going towards the progressive jackpot. If you do not place this bet you will not be able to win the jackpot even in the event that you are dealt a Royal Flush. Most people are placing this side bet too because the possibility of winning an incredible amount of money cannot be neglected by gamblers.
