Does Caribbean Stud Poker come from the Caribbean?

You may wonder whether Caribbean Stud Poker has anything to do with the Caribbean and if not, how it arrived at the name. The truth is a little vague but the game of Caribbean Poker can be traced back to Aruba which is of course in the Caribbean; it is however unclear whether the poker game actually originated there or on a cruise ship visiting there or somewhere in the United States. Whatever the origins it is a great game and if you want to play Caribbean Stud Poker you can do so at any of the online casinos that we list on our site. If you are not sure of the game rules play free Caribbean Stud Poker to start with and you can of course always visit our game rules pages which will fully explain the game to you. Some players will ask whether it makes any difference at which online casino they play Caribbean Stud and the answer is yes it does; if you are playing the basic game without the progressive jackpot then it makes no difference as the hand payouts are the same but if you are playing for the jackpot you might as well make sure that you are playing for the maximum possible. The jackpot amount is always stated on the table and can be as little as €18000 or €19000 but it can also be over €100,000 and we know which we would rather play for. Play Caribbean Stud poker where the jackpot is the highest because your chances of winning are theoretically exactly the same. Another thing to watch out for when playing Caribbean Stud with a progressive jackpot is the payout for lesser hands than the Royal Flush (which always pays the jackpot). Some online casinos pay for example 10% of the jackpot for a straight flush while others such as Ladbrokes online casino, who for some reason refer to the game as Cyberstud Poker, pay a fixed 20,000 (Paddy Power only pay 2500). Depending on the size of the jackpot therefore you can decide which is better. Playing Caribbean Poker is great fun but look around before you play to make sure you are getting the best deal.
