Caribbean Poker Rules and Pointers

[ English ]

Poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous types on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the different players receive 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is equal to your original wager, which means that the risks will have doubled. Bowing out means that your bet goes immediately to the bank. After the wager comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a figure equal to the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The casino pays out cash even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

  • Equal 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
  • 5-1 for a flush
  • seven to one 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
