Poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous types on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the dealer declares "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the different players receive 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the bet comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus an amount equal to the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up cash equal to your initial bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
