Poker has become world famous lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other players attain five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a sum equal to the original bet. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays money equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two 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
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
