Poker has become world acclaimed lately, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years several types on the earliest poker game have been created, including a few games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling vingt-et-un than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little conniving or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier saying "No further bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers are given 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you need to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your wager is given back, including an amount in accordance with the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The house pays out chips even with your wager and fixed expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one 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
