Web poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different players acquire 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantly to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a figure in accordance with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash equal to your ante and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 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
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
