Caribbean stud poker

A game is played with a deck of 52 cards.

To start it, you need to place an ante bet, and once all your fellow players have done it, the dealer will give five cards to each player and five cards to himself.

The top card of the dealer's cards is opened so all players can see it. After checking your combination, now you get to decide whether you will play your hand as it is, placing a play bet double the amount of your ante bet, or you will buy one card only, replacing the one you consider not such a good use of your hand. If you consider that neither of the above two is a good option for you than you can fold your cards and forfeit your ante bet. Once all players made their decision, play, bet, fold, or swap a card for an equal amount of their ante bet, then the dealer will continue by giving a card to the players who decided that they might get the one card they need and wait for the final decision. After getting that card, you still have the option to either bet the play or fold your hand. When all the players who decided to stay in the game have placed their play bet, which must always be double the amount of the ante bet, then the dealer will open his five cards. As in any poker game, the goal is to have a better combination of five cards than the dealer. The dealer qualifies with an ace & king or higher and then compares his hand with each player.

When the dealer does not qualify, the ante is paid 1 to 1, and the play bet is pushed.

All the winning hands will be paid 1 to 1 for the ante bet and the play bets according to the pay table as follows.
