Poker has become world celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite 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 traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players acquire 5 cards. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash even with your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
