How To Play:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caribbean poker is played with a deck of 52 cards. In order to participate in 
the game, you must first place an "ante bet". You are then dealt a hand of five 
cards-all of them face up. The dealer also receives five cards; four cards dealt 
face down and one card face up. In Caribbean poker, the player and the dealer 
compare hands formed from their five cards. No additional cards are dealt. 

When you have looked at your cards and the dealer's up card, you must decide 
whether to challenge the dealer's hand with a bet or to surrender. If you wish 
to challenge the dealer, you must place a bet by pressing the BET button. The 
bet is always equal to twice the ante. If you do not wish to challenge the 
dealer's hand, you must opt to press SURRENDER and lose your ante. 

When you receive a good hand, you will naturally wish to place a bet to 
challenge the dealer's hand. When the bet has been placed, the dealer reveals 
his four remaining cards and the hands are compared. To make your gaming 
experience more enjoyable, the dealer will announce your hand! 

The Dealer Must Qualify.
---------------------------------------
In Caribbean poker, the dealer's hand must contain at least one ace and one 
king in order to qualify. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, you receive 
1 to 1 on your ante and your bet is returned to you without winnings. 

If the dealer's hand does qualify with a value of at least one ace + one king, 
the best hand wins. Your winning hand receives 1 to 1 on the ante plus the 
winnings on your bet, which are calculated according to the winnings table. 

Push:
----------
When the dealer and the player receive poker hands of equal value (i.e. 
a push game), both the ante and the bet are returned to the player.
