Poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many types on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 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 the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the croupier declares "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s value is akin to your original wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including an amount equal to the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out chips equal to your ante and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two 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
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
