Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the house rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer broadcasting "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is akin to your original wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with an amount in accordance with the initial wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The dealer pays out money even with your wager and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 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
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
