Web poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players acquire five cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes immediately to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 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
- 100-1 for a royal flush
