Online poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous variations 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 the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantly to the dealer. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a figure on par with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The casino pays out money equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
