Poker has become world celebrated lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers attain 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including a sum equal to the original wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pays chips equal to your bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
