Poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your wager goes directly to the bank. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a sum in accordance with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out cash equal to your original bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one 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
