Internet poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many 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 games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the different players acquire five cards. Once you have observed your hand and the casino’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a figure in accordance with the original bet. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays out chips equal to 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
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
