Online poker has become globally celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the casino. After the bet is the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including an amount equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays out chips equal to your initial bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
