Poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit farther than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the house rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers are given 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s first card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s value is akin to your original ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes immediately to the bank. After the bet is the showdown. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including an amount equal to the ante. If the house does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays out money even with your wager and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• five to one for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• twenty to one for a four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
