Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous types on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must in turn make a call wager or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning wager, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the bank. After the bet is the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with an amount in accordance with the initial bet. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pays out cash equal to your bet and set expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
