Web poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the different players are given 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantaneously to the bank. After the wager is the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a figure on par with the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays out chips equal to your bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
