Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players are given 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your original wager, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the wager is the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a sum equal to the initial wager. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The house pays out money equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. 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
- 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
- 100-1 for a royal flush
