Internet poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years numerous types on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a figure on par with the original wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pays chips even with your bet and controlled odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
