Poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers receive 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including an amount equal to the original bet. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
