Poker has become world famous recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players receive 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning wager, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the conclusion. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a figure on par with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays out money even with your ante and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for three 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
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
