Poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the dealer rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the other gamblers receive 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must in turn make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your wager goes immediately to the dealer. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with an amount in accordance with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The house pays out money even with your wager and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for 2 pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• 20-1 for a four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• 100-1 for a royal flush
