Once you place youropening bet the dealer deals two cards, one on the left and one on the right. You now have tobet on the likelihood that the rank of the third card you get is in-between the ranks of thetwo cards first dealt. In Red Dog the suit of the cards is not of importance.The value of the cards from two to ten is their face value. The jack counts 11, the queen 12, the king 13and the ace counts as 14. The raise bet is based on the spread. The spread is the difference between the values of the two cards.In case the two cards are consecutive, like a four and a five, the hand is over and you get your wager back.If the two cards are a Pair the betting will stop, but you will still have the chance to get a 11:1 payout if the third card has the same value the first two cards have.The most interesting part in Red Dog is betting on the spread. The odds on the bets are: Spread of One / 5:1 payout Spread of Two / 4:1 payout Spread of Three / 2:1 payout Spread of Four - Eleven / 1:1 payout Pair / 11:1 payout with third matching card For more info about this game please email us at RedDog@jacado.com.Caribbean PokerIn Caribbean Poker, a favorite in the Caribbean and aboard cruise ships, each player plays against the dealerand not against the other players. In Caribbean Poker you place an ante, receive a hand, and then decide whetheror not you would like to bet. Caribbean Poker is played with one standard deck of cards. When the game starts,you place your wager (''ante'') and then the dealer deals five cards for you and five cards for himself.Your cards are faced up. The dealer''s cards are faced down except for the last card which is faced up.Once the dealer deals the cards, you should choose either to stay in the game, which means that you shouldraise your bet (''Raise''), quit (''Fold'') or to change one of your cards (''Change''). If you choose to changeone of your cards, an amount of money equals to the original ante is paid to the dealer and right after that,you should decide whether to stay in the game and raise your bet (''Raise'') or to quit (''Fold''). In case youdecide not to change your cards, if you choose to quit (''Fold'') the ante is forfeited and if you choose tostay (''Raise''), the amount of the original ante is doubled. Once you take decision to Stay in the game,the dealer''s cards are revealed. If the dealer does not have (at least) one ace-king combination, the playerautomatically wins even money on the ante and the wager is returned. If the dealer does have (at least) oneace-king combination, then a comparison is made between the dealer''s and player''s hands. If the value of theplayer hand is higher, the player wins even money on the ante and the original wager pays according to thefollowing payout list: Royal Flush - 100:1, Straight Flush - 50:1, Four of a Kind - 15:1, Full House - 7:1,Flush - 5:1, Straight - 4:1, Three of a Kind - 3:1, Two pairs - 2:1, Pair - 1:1.

Exceeding a total of 21 is known as ''busting''.The casino''s edge stems from the fact that players must go first and when they bust they automatically lose (even if thedealer has subsequently busted). All cards count their face value in BlackJack. Picture cards count as 10 and the Ace cardcan count as either 1 or 11. The total value a player has is the sum of the card values he holds. After the player looks at thefirst initial two cards and see the value of one of the dealer''s two cards, the player must choose one of the following actions:Hit, which means you want the dealer to give you one more card.Stand, which means that you are satisfied with your cards and you don''t want more cards.Split, which means that you want to split your bet into two bets. If you have two identical cards (except two Aces), you can split your bet. When you split you find your self with two separated series of cards which mean two separated bets.Double, which means you want to double your bet and receive only one more card. Insur, which means that you want to make an additional bet on half of the money you chose to bet on. The additional bet means that you win if the dealer has a blackjack, which means that you don''t lose anything.For more info about this game please email us at BlackJack@jacado.com.Enjoy the following GREAT features:Exact implementation of the Double Joker Poker rulesEasy-to-use interfaceAwesome GRAPHICSUser friendlyBuilt-in instructionsAddictive fun!Please note that you must install MIDP.prc on your palm before running this game.
