Internet poker has become world famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, stretches back in reality a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years many variants on the original poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than traditional poker, in that the gamblers wager against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up prior to the croupier broadcasting "No more bets." At that point, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers are given 5 cards each. Once you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to in turn make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your beginning ante, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantaneously to the house. After the wager is the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a sum on par with the ante. If the dealer has a hand with ace/king or greater, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pays cash even with your initial bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These expectations are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• three to one for three of a kind
• four to one for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one 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
