Poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the casino instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer broadcasting "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the other players receive 5 cards. Once you have looked at your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is equal to your original wager, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a sum equal to the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for two pairs
• three to one for 3 of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
