Poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players are given five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with an amount equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The house pays out chips equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
