Internet poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other players attain five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your bet goes immediately to the bank. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus an amount on par with the initial bet. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your ante and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two 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
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
