Poker has become world famous as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up just before the croupier saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different players are given five cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you must either make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes directly to the bank. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including an amount equal to the original wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out chips equal to your ante and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:

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