Web poker has become globally famous lately, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its universal appeal, though, stretches back quite a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years many variants on the first poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not quite poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these particular games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling chemin de fer than traditional poker, in that the gamblers bet against the bank rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up before the croupier announcing "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the dealer and of course all of the different gamblers receive 5 cards each. After you have observed your hand and the bank’s first card, you have to either make a call wager or accede. The call wager’s value is equal to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Surrendering means that your ante goes directly to the house. After the wager comes the face off. If the house does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus a figure equal to the ante. If the bank has a hand with ace/king or better, you succeed if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The house pony’s up money even with your ante and set expectations on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for two pairs
• three to one for three 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
• 100-1 for a royal flush
