Poker has become world famous recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the house rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course all of the different gamblers attain 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a figure equal to the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays money even with your initial bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one 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 four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
