Internet poker has become world famous as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the first poker game have been created, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with twenty-one than old guard poker, in that the players bet against the casino rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no bluffing or different types of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the dealer announcing "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers attain five cards. After you have looked at your hand and the dealer’s first card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call bet’s amount is equal to your beginning bet, indicating that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your ante goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the conclusion. If the bank does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, with a figure on par with the original bet. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your wager and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for two pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• five to one for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• 20-1 for a 4 of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• 100-1 for a royal flush
