Poker has become world famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers attain 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantly to the bank. After the wager is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a sum equal to the original wager. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one 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
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
