Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantly to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including a figure equal to the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pays out money even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
