Caribbean Poker Regulations and Hints

Poker has become world famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other players attain 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning wager, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the bet is the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus an amount in accordance with the initial bet. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pays out money even with your wager and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
