Internet poker has become globally famous as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. The games popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its television ratings. Over the years several variations on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling 21 than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers wager against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is no conniving or other kinds of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up prior to the dealer saying "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players acquire five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you need to in turn make a call bet or accede. The call wager’s amount is equal to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your bet goes instantly to the house. After the wager is the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or better, your bet is returned, including a sum on par with the initial bet. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The house pony’s up money even with your ante and fixed expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for two pairs
• three to one for 3 of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• 7-1 for a full house
• 20-1 for a four of a kind
• fifty to one for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
