Poker has become globally famous recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the original 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. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with blackjack than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier declares "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the different players acquire 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, including a figure in accordance with the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays chips even with your wager and fixed odds 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
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
