Internet poker has become world famous as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other players are given five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the bank. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including an amount equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays out cash even with your ante and fixed expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 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 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
