Online casino awards North American players 14 Apple iPhones as part of Caribbean Stud poker competition
Tuesday 10th June 2008
Online casino BodogLife.com has announced that five lucky players won iPhones from Apple to finish its recent Caribbean Hold’em promotion.
The promotion was only open to real money competitors in North America and also included weekly random cash draws to those hitting correct ‘live’ hands.
The winners of the 14 iPhones included ‘Whitley B’ and ‘Chuck B' from North Carolina alongside ‘David Y’ from Hawaii and ‘Bonnie F’ from Wisconsin. The most recent winner, ‘Josh M’ from Oregon hit a bottom end straight to win his iPhone.
Caribbean Hold'em poker is a variation on Texas Hold'em but sees players competing against the dealer rather than other players. It was designed to merge Caribbean Stud and Texas Hold'em and sees the dealer dealt two cards face down while players are dealt two showing cards. Three community cards, known as ‘the flop’, are then dealt face up with players then deciding if their five-card hand is good enough to beat that held by the dealer.
Players may call or fold at this stage but a call triggers two more community cards to be dealt face-up to bring the total number of community cards to five. Both competitors may use any of the community cards along with their hole cards to make the best five-card hand.
