Internet poker has become world famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its television scores. Over the years several variations on the earliest poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer declares "No further wagers." At that moment, both you and the house and of course all of the different players are given 5 cards each. Once you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is equal to your original bet, which means that the risks will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes instantaneously to the house. After the bet is the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the dealer does have ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand defeats the casino’s hand. The house pony’s up money even with your ante and set expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for two pairs
• three to one for 3 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 four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• 100-1 for a royal flush
