Caribbean Stud Poker: Caribbean card game with Jackpot (rules)

Caribbean Stud Poker is the famous game with 5 cards which owes its name to the great diffusion had on the ships of cruise which surf in the clear waters of the Caribbean. The two peculiarities of this game are that the players do not play one against another but each has the bank, and that there is a progressive Jackpot which increases according to the bets of all players and which is withdrawn by the highest combinations.

You play with a regular pack of cards of 52 cards and once you receive the classic 5 cards to play, they can’t be changed as it occurs in the traditional Poker. In Caribbean Stud Poker the player places his bet on the table (defined ante) and after he receives 5 covered cards while the bank takes 4 covered and 1 uncovered.
Once you see the cards, the player can behave in two ways: he passes the hand taking the ante bet or plays and places on the table the second bet which must be the double of the first.
At this point the croupier discovers the other 4 cards and compares his score with the one of the other players.

If the croupier does not have at least and Ace or K, he pays 1:1 the ante bet and the game ends, otherwise if he has one of these cards and the total score is over to the player, the bank wins. A third hypothesis is that if the bank has an Ace or a K but the player has a total score superior, the croupier pays.
A couple or less = 1:1
Double pair = 2:1
Tris 3:1
Straight = 4:1
Colour = 5:1
Full = 7:1
Poker = 20:1
Colour straight = 50:1
Straight flush= 100:1

As a last possibility, if the bank and the player have the same score, nobody wins and nobody loses.
Participating in the progressive Jackpot is always a subjective choice and to do it you must place 2 dollar in a circle drawn of the green table. If the player wins or loses against the bank, he participates in the bonus of the Jackpot and wins according to the following table.
Colour = $50
Full = $100
Poker = $500
Colour straight = 10% of the Jackpot
Straight flush = 100% of the Jackpot
