Internet poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other players attain five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes immediately to the bank. After the bet is the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, including a sum on par with the original bet. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The casino pays out chips even with your initial bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one 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
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
