Online poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years numerous types on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier announcing "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers attain 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a figure on par with the initial wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays cash equal to your wager and set odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
