Poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantly to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your wager and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
