Online poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the dealer declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players attain 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a figure equal to the initial bet. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays out cash equal to your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
