Playing Caribbean Poker
Known also as Caribbean Stud Poker, Caribbean Poker
deviates slightly from the standard rulings. A royal
flush is the deviation, paying two hundred to one instead
of one hundred to one. The house edge drops from 5.22
percent to 5.21 percent when you apply maximal strategic
planning. The progressive side bet is an innovation
of version four. Fifty dollar per flush the side bet
pays, one hundred dollars per full house and five hundred
dollars per four of a kind. For straight and royal flushes
you get respectively the regular ten percent and hundred
percent of the meter. You need a meter reaching $218,047.37
to break even on the side bet.

regular Klondike version. Two versions of solitaire
are available. In the version Draw One, the player runs
through the tableau only one time while drawing single
cards at a time. In the Draw Three version, the player
runs through the tableau three times while being allowed
to draw three cards at one time.
The total wager runs from 1.04 dollars to fifty two
dollars and the participant is allowed to place wagers
from two cents up to one dollar on each card. For each
card which is moved by the player to the foundations,
the player receives in return for each card five times

a standard five, eight: five for a flush and an eight
for a full house. The anticipated return of 95.31 percent
is given to the player applying a five, eight strategic

for Cryptologic including anticipated return tables
for every game apart from the Super Jackpot game. The
tables are useful only under the assumption that maximum

Playing Video Poker
Bonus Video Poker is an absolutely innovative game issued
by Cryptologic. It functions on three, five or ten play
and models itself on the standard video poker game.
However, in contrast to video poker it puts a card back
in the deck rather than discarding it. On receiving
back a card on the draw which was previously discarded
on the deal, depending on the type of game, the participant
receives a bonus. A sixteen percent of the wager is
the bonus in jacks or better.
Having no software and the amount of time to assess
the game, Cryptologic responded in regard to the return
publicly. In a nutshell they said that if applying maximum
strategic planning then the version of Double Bonus,
namely, Bonus Video Poker, maintains a 99.9 percent
payout.
