Poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is on same level to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantly to the bank. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a figure equal to the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The dealer pony’s up money even with your ante and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 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
- 100-1 for a royal flush
