Poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer saying "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers attain five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus a sum in accordance with the initial bet. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out cash even with your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 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 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
