In general, the goal of the game is to win the chips of other players. If you play in a tournament, the goal is to play for as long as possible and finish the game at the top of the ranking, in one of the places called paid. The first of the ranking is the one who wins all the chips of the participants. If you play in cash game, each player sits at the table with a quantity of chips directly convertible into cash. The goal is obviously the same as in tournament mode: win chips. There is, however, a noticeable difference: during a tournament, it is impossible to convert chips into cash. Only a paid seat can make money, while in cash game, the player has the freedom to leave the table and exchange his chips for money.
In Caribbean poker or Caribbean stud poker, a less common and similar version to blackjack, the player faces a dealer and tries to gain the maximum chips.
