Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few 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 21 than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier saying "No further bets." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning bet, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your bet goes directly to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a sum on par with the initial wager. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your wager and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
