Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers attain 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes immediately to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including an amount on par with the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The bank pays money even with your bet and set odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Equal 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
  • 7-1 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
