Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers attain five cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your original ante, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a sum on par with the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The casino pony’s up chips equal to your original bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
