Poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers receive five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus a sum equal to the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays out money equal to your bet and set odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal 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
