Caribbean Draw Poker

This is a fun and unique casino game available at the Rushmore Casino.  You can play this game with your welcome bonus, if you use the "DOUBLEDOWN" coupon code after making your initial deposit.  Not ready to deposit yet?  Don't worry, you can play Caribbean Draw Poker in the free play casino version as well.
    This casino game is a lot like the Caribbean Stud game.  There is a progressive jackpot over $15,000 that can be won by getting a Royal Flush.  The progressives and bonus pay outs only count if you get the hand before you draw.  That's right, you can draw cards in this game. 
    To begin playing, you will first have to decide how much you want to wager and if you want to place a $1 chip for the progressive jackpot.  You can wager between a $1 to $250 per hand.  Press deal and you will receive your initial five cards.  At this time you will have the option to either fold your hand or bet your hand.  If you fold you will lose your ante and your hand will be done tossed.   If you decide to bet your hand you will be placing an additional wager equal to twice your ante for your bet.  If you are going to be betting your hand, you will be able to select up to two cards to draw.  You must select the cards before pushing the bet button and remember the cards you are selecting are the cards you are discarding (not keeping).  You will then be dealt your new cards and the dealer's cards will be flipped over.  There are three possible scenarios that may occur.
    The dealer may have an unqualified hand.  If the dealer's hand is worse than a pair of eights, then you will have your bet refunded and your ante wager will be paid out 1:1.
    If the dealer has a qualified hand and has a better poker hand than yours, then you will lose both your ante and your wager.
    If the dealer has a qualified hand, but your poker hand is better than the dealer's hand, then you will be paid out.  Your ante will be paid out 1:1 and your bet will be paid out depending on your poker hand.  The pay outs range from 1:1 for a pair to 100:1 for a Royal Flush.
    This casino game can be somewhat frustrating to play, especially when you make a good draw hand and the dealer doesn't qualify, but is considering less frustrating than the regular Caribbean Stud casino game.  There is quite of bit of strategy that can be used to play this casino game, but using a bit of common sense will go along way.  Sometimes common sense and house advantage isn't the right way to play though.  To avoid some heart stopping, stroke inducing frustrations, you should play the progressive jackpot whenever possible.  For a mere $1 you can turn an already fun game to play into one of your favourites.
