Internet poker has become globally acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its television ratings. Over the years several types on the first poker game have been created, including some games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the long-standing poker hands. There is little bluffing or other types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to ante up just before the croupier announcing "No further bets." At that point, both you and the house and of course all of the different players are given five cards each. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to either make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s value is akin to your beginning ante, meaning that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with a figure in accordance with the original bet. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up money equal to your wager and controlled odds on your call bet. These expectations are:

• Even for a pair or high card
• two to one for 2 pairs
• three to one for 3 of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• five to one for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
