Internet poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different players are given 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s value is equal to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the house. After the wager is the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus a sum equal to the initial bet. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The house pays out money even with your ante and set odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
