Poker has become world famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers are given five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the dealer. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus a figure on par with the initial bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your bet and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 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
