Caribbean Stud Poker Video Poker at Casino.com NZ
Caribbean Stud Poker got its name because the game originated in the Caribbean island of Aruba. The game was shown to a gambler when he offered a player who was having an unlucky streak $5,000 to teach him how to play. The gambler then sold the game to a friend of his who owned a casino on Aruba. Later the game began to reach more players online, and has really come into its own once it was linked to a progressive jackpot. Video poker, and other forms of poker games have become particularly popular at Casino.com New Zealand.
Playing Caribbean Stud Poker
Caribbean Stud Poker is played against the house, or the dealer, and is not played against other players. For this reason, players simply need to be able to play the game, and have no need to learn to bluff, as is often necessary in regular poker games. The game is played with six standard 52-card decks.
To start play, place the Ante Bet. Five face-up cards will be dealt. The dealer also receives five cards, however, only one card is dealt face-up, giving players only a small clue as to what the dealer hand might contain.
The player can now continue playing, or can fold and lose their Ante Bet. When continuing game play, you can Call, which means that you first place another chip, equal to your Ante Bet, and you get to see the dealer’s cards. At this time, the higher ranking poker hand will win.
Note:
The dealer can only win if the dealer hand contains at least a King and an Ace or a stronger poker hand. Should the dealer hand be too low, the dealer loses, and the player wins. The lowest payout is set at 1:1 for a pair or for a King/Ace combination, and the highest payout is set to 200:1 when the player has a Royal Flush.
