Poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the house instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer saying "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers receive 5 cards. Once you have observed your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or surrender. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your wager goes directly to the casino. After the bet is the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, plus an amount equal to the initial wager. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips equal to your ante and fixed expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

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