Caribbean Poker Regulations and Pointers


Online poker has become world famous lately, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the dealer rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course all of the other players are given 5 cards each. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes immediately to the dealer. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including an amount equal to the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pays out chips equal to your bet and fixed odds on your call wager. These expectations are:

  • Equal for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • 3-1 for three of a kind
  • 4-1 for a straight
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • one hundred to one for a royal flush
