Online poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players receive 5 cards. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning bet, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantly to the bank. After the wager is the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a sum equal to the initial wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up money even with your bet and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one 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
