Web poker has become world famous recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the bank. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including a sum equal to the initial bet. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays out cash even with your wager and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one 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 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
