Oasis Caribbean Poker

Game Objective

  Oasis Caribbean poker holds similarities to both blackjack and video poker. The player plays against the dealer, independently of other players. Your goal as the player is to beat the dealer's hand. The exciting aspect of the game is that you can win big when you least expect it. We have a large progressive jackpot included in this game, which often reaches over $100K.

It plays in the same way as standard Caribbean Poker, but there is an option to change any of your cards after the first 5 have been dealt.  Each card costs the same as the initial ante to change.  This option is particularly useful for making a good hand out of poor cards, or making a good hand even better.

Rules

  The player antes, and is then dealt a five-card hand; the dealer is also dealt five cards of which only one is exposed. The player now either folds, losing his ante, changes some or all of his cards at a cost of ante x card number, or bets an additional amount equal to exactly twice the ante. The dealer then reveals his remaining four cards. If the dealer's hand is not Ace-King or better, the player is paid even money on the ante and nothing (i.e., a push) on the bet.

  If the dealer's hand is Ace-King or better it is said to "qualify" (for play against the player). In that case if the dealer's hand is better than the player's, the player's 'ante and bet' are collected by the house. If the dealer's qualifying hand is worse than the player's hand, the player is paid even money on the ante and an amount on the bet according to the player's hand as follows:
