Online poker has become globally celebrated recently, with televised events and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years many variations on the original 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 most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players are given five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the casino’s first card, you need to either make a call wager or accede. The call bet’s value is akin to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet is the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a sum on par with the original wager. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The casino pays money equal to your wager and set expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• three to one for three 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 four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
