Internet poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous variations 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 these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a figure equal to the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The house pays out cash equal to your bet and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three 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 four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
