Bermuda
Poker
Bermuda poker is a
solo version of the most popular card game, poker.
Bermuda poker pits you, the player, against the dealer
and you're paid out according to the rank of your
poker hand. The better your hand, the bigger your
payout. Bermuda poker also offers a separate progressive
jackpot bet for $1. If you play the progressive and
your hand qualifies, you win big!

At the beginning of
each game you are required to place an initial bet,
known as an ante. This amount appears on the betting
circle on the table top.
- Select a chip value of either
$1, $5, $10, $25, or $100.
- Click the betting circle until
the number of chips displayed equals the amount
you wish to bet.
- To reduce your bet amount,
right-click the betting circle to remove chips.
Your bet will be reduced by the amount of the
currently selected chip.
- Click Progressive
to participate in the progressive jackpot (optional).
When you place a $1 bet on the progressive jackpot,
a light appears on the coin slot in front of the
betting circle to indicate that you have bet on
the progressive jackpot.
- Click Deal.
You and the dealer will each be dealt a hand of
five cards. All of your cards will be face up,
but only one of the dealer's cards will be face
up. No additional cards are dealt.
- Click Fold
or Raise.
- Choose Fold
if you have a hand that you do not believe will
win. When you choose Fold,
the game ends with the dealer winning. You will
lose your ante and can start again.
- Choose Raise
if you have a hand that you believe will win.
When you choose Raise,
your ante will double. Your ante is now called
your bet. The dealer's cards will be turned
face up to determine the winner.
Rules
Bermuda poker uses
a one deck shoe.
If the dealer's hand
does not have a rank
of an Ace-King or higher, the dealer fails
to qualify and the game is over. Your bet is returned
to you with double your ante.
- Your ante is $20. You want
to play your hand so you choose Raise. Your bet
is now double your ante, that's $40. The dealer
fails to qualify. Your $20 bet is returned to
you, along with double your ante, another $40.
You are up $20.
If the dealer's hand
qualifies, it is compared to your hand. If the dealer's
hand is higher, you will lose both your ante and your
bet. If the dealer's hand is lower, you will receive
twice your ante and will be paid out on your bet according
to the payout
schedule. The odds that your winning hand
pays out are shown on the table top next to the betting
circle.
If your hand and the
dealer's tie on rank, whoever has the next highest
ranking card is the winner. If there is an absolute
tie, you will get all your money back.
Once the game is over,
you will have the chance to change your ante and begin
again.
- If you do not have enough
credits to ante or bet, or if all of your credits
are non-refundable credit, such as bonus chips,
you will receive messages to inform you of this.
You can then choose to purchase more chips and
continue to play.
