Poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to blackjack than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players are given 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is on same level to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your ante and fixed expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
