Poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to blackjack than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier saying "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players acquire 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is equal to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the house. After the wager is the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with an amount equal to the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pony’s up money equal to your ante and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for three 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
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
