Web poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash equal to your original bet and set expectations 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
- 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
