Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other players are given 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your original wager, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantaneously to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a figure equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pays cash even with your ante and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 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
