Online poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than long-standing poker, in that the players wager against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little conniving or other types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the dealer saying "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the casino and of course all of the different gamblers acquire five cards each. After you have observed your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantly to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus a sum equal to the initial bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The house pays cash even with your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• three to one for three of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• five to one for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
