Online poker has become globally famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original ante, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays money even with your original bet and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one 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
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
