Thursday, 10. December 2020
Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other gamblers are given 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is akin to your original ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your wager goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a figure on par with the original bet. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up cash equal to your initial bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for 2 pairs
- three to one for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
