Online poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in reality a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or other kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers receive 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you must in turn make a call wager or bow out. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original bet, indicating that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes immediately to the bank. After the wager is the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a figure equal to the original bet. If the house does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The bank pays out chips even with your ante and controlled odds on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one 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
• 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
