Poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the different players attain five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call bet or bow out. 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 bet goes immediately to the house. After the wager is the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a figure equal to the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash equal to your bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
