Web poker has become globally famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is akin to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a sum on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your initial bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • two to one for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 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
