Online poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your bet goes immediately to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a figure on par with the initial wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The bank pays out money even with your bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 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
