Poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantly to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including an amount equal to the original wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The casino pays money even with your original bet and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
