Internet poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier broadcasting "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other players receive five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantly to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a figure equal to the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your ante and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
