Poker has become world famous lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its television scores. Over the years numerous variations on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the gamblers bet against the dealer instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no concealment or different kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer announcing "No further bets." At that point, both you and the bank and of course every one of the different players receive 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is equal to your original bet, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the dealer. After the bet comes the face off. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, plus an amount in accordance with the original wager. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your ante and set odds on your call bet. These odds 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
• five to one 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
