Online poker has become world famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers receive five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a sum in accordance with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pays chips even with your ante and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
