Internet poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with 21 than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers receive five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantaneously to the house. After the wager is the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a figure on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The casino pays cash equal to your wager and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
