Online poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few 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 affiliated with 21 than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes immediately to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including a figure equal to the initial wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out cash even with your initial bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations 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
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
