Web poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course all of the other players are given five cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a sum in accordance with the initial bet. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pays out chips equal to your ante and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 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
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
