Poker has become globally famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of 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 related to blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the dealer instead of the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up before the dealer saying "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course every one of the other gamblers attain 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must either make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s value is akin to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the bank. After the bet comes the showdown. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, plus a figure in accordance with the original bet. If the dealer does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the dealer’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your ante and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for 2 pairs
• 3-1 for 3 of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
