Poker has become world famous as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years numerous types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players acquire 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a sum on par with the initial wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your ante and set odds on your call wager. These odds 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
- 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
