Online poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. The games popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling blackjack than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier broadcasting "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the other players acquire five cards. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call bet or bow out. The call wager’s value is on same level to your original wager, meaning that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes immediately to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is given back, plus a sum equal to the initial wager. If the house does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The dealer pony’s up cash even with your original bet and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one for two pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• five to one for a flush
• 7-1 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
