Caribbean Stud is an online casino game based on poker

Those of us who started playing casino games at a real casino got used to the fact that we were generally limited to casino games such as roulette and blackjack because of the space restrictions associated with our small casinos. Now that we have access to online casinos the choice of traditional casino games has increased dramatically, allowing us to play casino games such as Craps, Baccarat and even Backgammon online. The biggest change however is undoubtedly the chance to play poker online. The casino game of poker has surged in popularity since the online casinos became available and there are now even specialist poker sites which enable serious poker players to play against other players online. For these experienced poker players the Texas Hold’em format of poker is the game of choice, but the online casinos also offer us the chance to play a variety of other poker games against the house for fixed odds. One of the easiest of these other poker games to learn and to play is Caribbean Stud. Most of the major online casinos include Caribbean Stud in their range of casino games, and it is not only an excellent introduction to the ranking of poker hands but it can be played for very small stakes. The player is allowed to choose how much they want to stake on a hand, and then places what is called an ante bet. The dealer and the player are then dealt five cards each, but four of the dealer’s cards are face down. The player then has the chance to double their stake if they feel that their hand is a winner, although of course they can only see one of the dealer’s cards. All the cards are then revealed and a winning hand is paid out at even money. Playing Caribbean Stud online is a quick and easy way to learn a little about playing poker, and of course great fun.
