Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other gamblers acquire 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to either make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your wager goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the bet comes the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, with a sum in accordance with the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your wager and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• three to one for 3 of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• 20-1 for a four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
