Poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning wager, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes directly to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pays chips even with your ante and set odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one 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
