Poker has become world famous recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other players are given 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the wager is the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a sum equal to the initial bet. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pays out cash even with your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three 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 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
