Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a sum equal to the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The dealer pays cash equal to your bet and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • three to one for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
