Internet poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many types on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a sum on par with the original wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The dealer pays cash equal to your initial bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
