Internet poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players attain 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning wager, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a sum equal to the initial wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pays cash equal to your initial bet and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 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
