Online poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the croupier announcing "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s value is equal to your original bet, indicating that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a figure equal to the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays cash even with your bet and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
