Online poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers receive five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes directly to the bank. After the wager is the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with an amount equal to the original wager. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one 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
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
