In Caribbean Poker, a favorite in the Caribbean and aboard cruise ships, each player plays against the dealer
and not against the other players. In Caribbean Poker you place an ante, receive a hand, and then decide whether
or not you would like to bet. Caribbean Poker is played with one standard deck of cards. When the game starts,
you place your wager (''ante'') and then the dealer deals five cards for you and five cards for himself.
Your cards are faced up. The dealer''s cards are faced down except for the last card which is faced up.
Once the dealer deals the cards, you should choose either to stay in the game, which means that you should
raise your bet (''Raise''), quit (''Fold'') or to change one of your cards (''Change''). If you choose to change
one of your cards, an amount of money equals to the original ante is paid to the dealer and right after that,
you should decide whether to stay in the game and raise your bet (''Raise'') or to quit (''Fold''). In case you
decide not to change your cards, if you choose to quit (''Fold'') the ante is forfeited and if you choose to
stay (''Raise''), the amount of the original ante is doubled. Once you take decision to stay in the game,
the dealer''s cards are revealed. If the dealer does not have (at least) one ace-king combination, the player
automatically wins even money on the ante and the wager is returned. If the dealer does have (at least) one
ace-king combination, then a comparison is made between the dealer''s and player''s hands. If the value of the
player hand is higher, the player wins even money on the ante and the original wager pays according to the
following payout list: Royal Flush - 100:1, Straight Flush - 50:1, Four of a Kind - 15:1, Full House - 7:1,
Flush - 5:1, Straight - 4:1, Three of a Kind - 3:1, Two pairs - 2:1, Pair - 1:1. If the value of the player
hand is lower, the player loses his bet. If the player and the dealer hands'' values are equal, the player
gets his ante back. For further instructions, please visit at
