Poker has become world celebrated as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in fact a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been developed, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s value is akin to your original ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your bet goes immediately to the bank. After the wager comes the showdown. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus a figure in accordance with the initial wager. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The bank pony’s up money even with your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• 2-1 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
• 100-1 for a royal flush
