Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning bet, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your bet goes directly to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a sum in accordance with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up cash even with your wager and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- three to one for 3 of a kind
- four to one for a straight
- five to one for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
