Internet poker has become globally famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous variants on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of boondoggle.

Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantly to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a figure equal to the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pony’s up chips equal to your ante and set expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
