Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tips

Web poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with 21 than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer declares "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, including a figure equal to the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The casino pays money equal to your original bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. 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
  • 7-1 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
