Online poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers acquire five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning bet, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes directly to the dealer. After the wager comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus an amount equal to the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even 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
- 100-1 for a royal flush
