Poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantaneously to the casino. After the bet is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including a sum equal to the original bet. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pays out chips even with your wager and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations 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
- 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
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
