Web poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many types 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 most closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the other players are given 5 cards. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the dealer. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including a figure on par with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out chips even with your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
