Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers receive 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes directly to the casino. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including a figure on par with the original wager. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up cash equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even 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
- seven to one 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
