Web poker has become world famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players acquire five cards. 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 akin to your original wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the casino. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 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
