Poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players are given 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the bank. After the bet is the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, including a sum equal to the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for two pairs
• 3-1 for 3 of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• twenty to one for a four of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• 100-1 for a royal flush
