Web poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been developed, including some games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely resembling twenty-one than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the dealer instead of each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different types of deception. In Caribbean stud poker, you are expected to pay up before the dealer declares "No more bets." At that moment, both you and the bank and of course all of the different gamblers attain five cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s 1st card, you must either make a call wager or give up. The call wager’s amount is akin to your beginning wager, meaning that the stakes will have doubled. Surrendering means that your bet goes immediately to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the bank does not have ace/king or better, your wager is returned, plus a figure on par with the ante. If the casino does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the bank’s hand. The dealer pony’s up chips equal to your ante and controlled odds on your call bet. These odds are:

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