Internet poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers attain five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is equal to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantaneously to the bank. After the wager is the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with an amount on par with the original wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays out money equal to your bet and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
