Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to 21 than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course all of the different players acquire 5 cards each.

The call bet’s value is on same level to your beginning wager, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Giving Up means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the wager comes the conclusion. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, plus an amount on par with the ante. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The house pays cash even with your initial bet and set odds on your call bet. These expectations are:
- Equal for a pair or high card
- two to one for two pairs
- 3-1 for three of a kind
- 4-1 for a straight
- 5-1 for a flush
- seven to one for a full house
- twenty to one for a four of a kind
- 50-1 for a straight flush
- one hundred to one for a royal flush
