Web poker has become globally acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the other players receive five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays out money even with your wager and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
