Online poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers receive 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning wager, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the wager is the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a figure on par with the original bet. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up money equal to your initial bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
