Internet poker has become globally acclaimed recently, with televised championships and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit farther than its TV scores. Over the years many variations on the original poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in reality poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of these games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with blackjack than traditional poker, in that the players wager against the bank rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is little bluffing or other kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up prior to the croupier announcing "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers are given five cards. Once you have seen your hand and the bank’s first card, you need to either make a call bet or give up. The call bet’s value is on same level to your original bet, which means that the stakes will have increased two fold. Giving Up means that your ante goes instantly to the casino. After the bet comes the showdown. If the casino does not have ace/king or greater, your wager is given back, with a sum on par with the initial wager. If the casino has a hand with ace/king or better, you win if your hand is greater than the bank’s hand. The dealer pays money even with your ante and controlled 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
• 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
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• 100-1 for a royal flush
