Poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different players receive five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original bet, which means that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with an amount equal to the original wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your initial bet and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
