Online poker has become world famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been created, including some 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 vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your bet goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a figure in accordance with the original bet. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The house pays chips equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 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 four of a kind
