Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the different players are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a figure in accordance with the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pays chips equal to your initial bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
