Poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with 21 than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers attain 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original bet, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes immediately to the bank. After the bet is the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, with a figure equal to the original wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pays out chips even with your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
