Web poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the other players are given 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes directly to the dealer. After the wager is the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pays out money equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
