Caribbean Poker Regulations and Pointers
Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Giving Up means that your bet goes directly to the house. After the wager is the face off. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a figure on par with the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The dealer pays money equal to your wager and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:
- Even for a pair or high card
- two to one for 2 pairs
- 3-1 for 3 of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- 20-1 for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- 100-1 for a royal flush
