Poker has become world famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers acquire 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original wager, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantaneously to the casino. After the wager comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including a sum equal to the original bet. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash even with your ante and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two 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
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
