Web poker has become globally famous recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers acquire five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantly to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pays money equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
