Web poker has become globally famous lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier saying "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other players acquire five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including an amount on par with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your wager and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 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
