Online poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised events and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is equal to your original bet, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantly to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus an amount on par with the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays out chips equal to your initial bet and set expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one for two pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• five to one for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
