Web poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you need to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes immediately to the bank. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays out money even with your wager and fixed odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 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
