Online poker has become globally famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier saying "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players receive five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum in accordance with the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out cash even with your original bet and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
