Poker has become globally celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with 21 than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the different players attain 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s value is akin to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantly to the dealer. After the wager is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a sum in accordance with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash equal to your wager and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal 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
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
