5) If the player is the dealer, the player is the second person to react to each round of betting during the hand (hole cards, flop, turn, and river). There
are three scenarios after play passes from the computer to the player:
 Computer CHECKS ----- - Player has the option to:
 CHECK – Hand continues to the next round of play without either player placing a bet.
 RAISE – Places a bet into the pot. The computer must call or reraise for the hand to continue.
 FOLD – Ends the player’s hand and the computer wins the pot.
 Computer RAISES ----- - Player has the option to:
  CALL – Bets the minimum amount to match the computer’s bet. Hand continues to the next round.
  RAISE – Calls the computer’s bet and bets again into the pot. The computer must call or reraise for the hand to continue.
  FOLD – Ends the player’s hand and the computer wins the pot.
 Computer FOLDS ----- - Ends the hand and the player collects pot.
6) If the player wins the hand, “PLAYER WIN” will appear onscreen and the POT will transfer to the BANK one by one. The player can press the TAKE
button to transfer the entire amount of the pot into the bank immediately without watching it rack up onscreen.
7) If the computer wins the hand, “DEALER WIN” will appear onscreen.
8) After the current hand ends, DEAL will flash onscreen to prompt the player to begin the next hand. Press the DEAL button to start the next hand.
NOTE: If both the player’s and the computer’s highest hands are the same, the pot will be split between the player and the computer.
CARIBBEAN STUD
1) After selecting CARIBBEAN from the main game menu, the word BET will flash onscreen.
2) Press the BET button to place an ante bet of 50 into the pot. Then, press the DEAL button to begin the hand.
3) The dealer will deal out five cards to the player, and then five cards to the dealer with only one card face up. The object of the game is to decide
whether the player’s hand will beat the dealer’s hand based upon the player’s cards and the dealer’s up card.
4) The player has two options after the cards are dealt:
 a) Press the CALL button to place a bet of 100, which is equal to twice the player’s initial ante bet already in the pot. The current hand continues to
 the showdown.
 b) Press the FOLD button to end the current hand. The dealer wins the player’s ante, and the player is prompted to begin the next hand.
5) THE SHOWDOWN: If the player calls the ante bet, the dealer will show all of its cards and determine if this hand ‘qualifies.’ To qualify, the dealer
must have at least an A-K or better in its hand.
6) If the dealer’s hand does not ‘qualify,’ the player’s call bet is returned plus an amount equal to the original ante bet (50).
7) If the dealer’s hand does ‘qualify,’ the hand plays to completion.
 a) If the dealer’s hand is higher than the player’s hand, the dealer takes the pot and the player is prompted to begin the next hand.
 b) If the player’s hand is better than the dealer’s hand, the dealer pays out even money on the player’s ante plus fixed odds on the call bet as follows:
1-1 for a high card
1-1 for a pair
2-1 for two pairs
3-1 for three of a kind
8) If the player wins the game, “PLAYER WIN” will appear onscreen and the POT will transfer to the BANK one by one. The player can press the TAKE
button to transfer the entire amount of the pot into the bank immediately without watching it rack up onscreen.
9) If the dealer wins the hand, “DEALER WIN” will appear onscreen.
10) After the current hand ends, BET will flash onscreen to prompt the player to begin the next hand. Press the BET button, then the DEAL button to start
the next hand.
NOTE: If both the player’s and the dealer’s highest hands are the same, the result will be a push on both the call and ante bets.

®
from the main game menu, the word BET will flash onscreen.

3) The dealer will deal out three cards to the player, and then two community cards face down. The object of the game is to get a pair of 10s or better
between the player’s cards and the community cards. The player is only playing against the odds of receiving a winning hand, not the dealer.

7) If the player has a pair of 10s or better between the player’s hole cards and the two community cards on the table, the player has a winning hand.
Payouts are based upon the fixed odds as follows:
1-1 for a pair of 10s or better
2-1 for two pair
3-1 for a three of a kind
8) If the player wins the game, “PLAYER WIN” will appear onscreen and the POT will transfer to the BANK one by one. The player can press the TAKE
