Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tips

Online poker has become globally famous recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s value is on same level to your original ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a sum equal to the initial wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up money even with your ante and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • two to one for two 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 four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
