Poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other gamblers acquire five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes immediately to the casino. After the wager is the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a figure in accordance with the initial bet. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash even with your initial bet and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 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
