Web poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different players attain five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is equal to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, with a sum equal to the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays chips equal to your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one 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
- 100-1 for a royal flush
