Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tricks


[ English ]

Poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many types on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players are given five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you must in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus a sum in accordance with the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The dealer pony’s up chips even with your bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations 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
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
