Poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the wager comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with an amount equal to the initial bet. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pays out cash equal to your original bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
