Online poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous types on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers receive five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to either make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the wager comes the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with an amount in accordance with the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays money equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 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
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
