Poker has become world celebrated lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several types on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players receive five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you must either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes immediately to the bank. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus a sum on par with the initial bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pony’s up chips even with your wager and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 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
