Poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the house rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no bluffing or other types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the dealer announcing "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the casino and of course every one of the different gamblers are given 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the dealer’s 1st card, you need to either make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your original bet, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the wager is the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a figure in accordance with the ante. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The dealer pays cash equal to your bet and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Even for a pair or high card

- five to one for a flush
- 7-1 for a full house
- 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
