Poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different players receive five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a sum on par with the original wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up chips even with your original bet and set expectations on your call wager. These odds 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
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
