Internet poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer declares "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players are given 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the house. After the bet is the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with a sum equal to the initial bet. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The bank pays cash equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
