Poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players receive five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with a sum in accordance with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pony’s up chips equal to your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
