Web poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one 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 bank instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other players acquire 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning wager, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantaneously to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a sum equal to the initial wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The casino pays out cash equal to your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
