Web poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its 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 created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with 21 than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the house and of course all of the other players are given 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you must in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your original ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes immediately to the house. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a sum on par with the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
