Caribbean Hold’em Poker by RealTime Gaming

Games like poker and blackjack are fun because of the depth their gameplay offers. If you play them well, you can push the house edge below one percent, which is huge! As a result, these releases usually do not have access to massive wins or progressive jackpots. However, this has changed with the launch of RTG’s Caribbean Hold’em Poker!

The table is optimized for a single player. It offers an easy to use control panel that very clearly tells you how to play. At the same time, we get awesome graphics and fluid animations that keep our interest. Hats off to the developers, they really went all out here.

Before you can play a round of Caribbean Hold’em, you need to place your bets. You do this by clicking a coin value you are interested in. That will automatically place the coin on the Ante! Click the skull on the right side of the table to place the progressive jackpot side bet. Feel free to take your time while wagering, as there is no time limit restricting you.

Press the Deal button, and the computer will start drawing cards. Both you and the dealer receive two cards, alongside three shared cards in the middle. You cannot see what cards the dealer has. At this point, you have to decide if you are going to fold or call the bet. Folding means you quit early, and you should do this if you have minimal chances of winning. Calling adds a bet worth 2x the ante, and continues the round.

Two more community cards are then drawn. If your hand is better than what the dealer has, you win the round. You can also win with a weak hand if the dealer fails to qualify. In order to qualify, the computer has to draw at least a pair of fours.

You can wager anywhere between $1 and $100 with each round. When choosing your total bet, make sure to account for the Call bet. Failing to do so may result in your budget running dry much earlier than planned.

How much you win depends on the strength of your hand. Most easy to draw combinations like pairs and high cards pay even money. In contrast, you can score up to 100:1 by getting a Royal Flush.

For players that are still hungry for more, you can also play the progressive jackpot side bet. The side bet pays on the flop, and awards money depending on what card combination you have. Royal flush and straight flush win 100% and 10% of the progressive jackpot, respectively. Other winning combinations are fixed values.
