Poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier saying "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers receive five cards. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes immediately to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus an amount equal to the initial bet. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out chips equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations 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
- 5-1 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
