Internet poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier saying "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers are given five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantly to the casino. After the wager is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up chips even with your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 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
