Web poker has become globally celebrated lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been developed, including some 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 related to chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the bank. After the bet comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus an amount on par with the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pays out cash even with your ante and set odds on your call bet. These expectations 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
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
