Poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television scores. Over the years many types on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different players attain five cards. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is akin to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a sum in accordance with the initial wager. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pays chips equal to your wager and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
