Web poker has become globally famous recently, with televised tournaments and celebrity poker game events. Its popularity, though, stretches back quite a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years several variants on the original poker game have been developed, including a handful of games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is most closely related to vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the house rather than each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or different types of concealment. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the dealer announcing "No more wagers." At that point, both you and the house and of course every one of the other gamblers attain 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s 1st card, you have to either make a call wager or surrender. The call bet’s value is equal to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your wager goes immediately to the bank. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, plus a sum equal to the ante. If the house has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the casino’s hand. The bank pony’s up chips even with your ante and fixed odds on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• two to one for two 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 4 of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush
