Internet poker has become world celebrated recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years many variations on the original poker game have been created, including a few games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the dealer saying "No further bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different players receive five cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you must in turn make a call bet or give up. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the risks will have doubled. Bowing out means that your wager goes immediately to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer doesn’t have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, with a sum on par with the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the bank’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• 20-1 for a four of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
