Wednesday, 9. February 2022
Poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers receive 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a figure in accordance with the original bet. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pays out chips equal to your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- 2-1 for two 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
- twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
- fifty to one for a straight flush
