Poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different players attain 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the house. After the bet is the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a sum on par with the original wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pays chips equal to your original bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
