Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other players attain five cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a sum equal to the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up chips even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 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
