Online poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many 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 particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or different kinds of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the different players receive five cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a figure on par with the initial wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays out cash even with your initial bet and fixed odds 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
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
