Internet poker has become world celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers attain 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original ante, which means that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the house. After the wager comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a figure equal to the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays out cash equal to your ante and fixed odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
