Internet poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few 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 most closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers attain five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum equal to the initial wager. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays cash equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
