Internet poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers attain five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus an amount 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 bank pays out chips even with your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for three 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 four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
