Online poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous types on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer declares "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the conclusion. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a figure on par with the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up cash even with your ante and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 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
- 50-1 for a straight flush
