Poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier saying "No more bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus an amount in accordance with the initial bet. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your original bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
