Internet poker has become globally famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer declares "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other players are given five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus a sum on par with the original wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pays chips equal to your wager and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one 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
