Internet poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players attain five cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a sum in accordance with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash equal to your bet and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 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
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
