Web poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is akin to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the showdown. If the casino doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, including a figure on par with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays out money even with your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 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
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
