Caribbean Poker Regulations and Pointers

[ English ]

Poker has become world famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players receive five cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you have to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is on same level to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your bet goes instantly to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, with an amount equal to the original wager. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The house pony’s up money equal to your wager and set odds on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 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
  • 20-1 for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
