Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or different types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer declares "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the different gamblers attain five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is akin to your original bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the bet is the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus an amount on par with the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up money even with your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
