Web poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the different gamblers attain 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus an amount on par with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up money even with your bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations 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
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
