Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players are given five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning bet, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a sum on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays out cash equal to your ante and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three 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 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
