Internet poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the casino instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players acquire five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a sum in accordance with the initial bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
