Web poker has become world famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pays out 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 two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
