Online poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players acquire 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning bet, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a sum on par with the initial bet. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays chips even with your ante and fixed 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
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
