Web poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous variations on the original 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 more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other players attain 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus an amount in accordance with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The casino pony’s up cash even with your original bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 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
