Poker has become world acclaimed recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other players are given 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you have to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including an amount equal to the initial bet. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your bet and fixed odds on your call wager. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for two pairs
• three to one for three of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• 20-1 for a four of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• 100-1 for a royal flush
