Internet poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit farther than its TV ratings. Over the years several variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the casino instead of the other players. The winning hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different types of boondoggle. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer saying "No more wagers." At that instance, both you and the bank and of course all of the other gamblers are given five cards each. After you have seen your hand and the bank’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or bow out. The call bet’s amount is akin to your beginning ante, indicating that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes instantaneously to the dealer. After the wager is the showdown. If the house doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including a sum in accordance with the ante. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The bank pays out money equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for 2 pairs
• three to one for three of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• 5-1 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
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
