There
is no doubt that card games are amongst the most popular games you find
on the internet with poker being at the top of the tree. The internet
in poker has exploded in recent years with fans all over the world
taking a greater interest in the big name stars that play the game and
in the big games themselves. The fact that players can play against
some of the biggest names is a huge incentive for many people to get
involved but there are more than just the standard game of poker, Texas
Hold'Em to take an interest in. One of the biggest reasons why poker
is so popular is down to the fact that there are so many different
varieties of poker games to play. It may not be the most popular or
common game you can find online but there is a lot to be said about
Caribbean Stud.
The rules of Caribbean Stud are quite similar to the rules of 5 card
stud poker yet this game is solely played against the dealer. This
means that you do not have to worry about taking on an opponent and
there is no need to worry about bluffing your opponent. This is one of
the things that causes concern for many online poker players so with
this element removed, there is one less thing to worry about.
Caribbean Stud is a game that has a mysterious origin, which can only
add to its appeal and charm but it has to be said that the game has
something for everyone to enjoy.
The ambiguity about its origins is all the more surprising given that
it is a relatively new game of poker. It is said that David Slansky, a
well know gambler, invented Caribbean Poker back in 1982, although he
called it casino poker. In that incarnation, the game was played with
the dealer being in charge of two hole cards, whereas the current
version of the game is played out with just the one card being
revealed. The notion of the progressive jackpot has become an integral
part of the modern Caribbean Stud game but it was not present in the
early versions of the game. The current incarnation is said to have
resurfaced in Aruba, while some point to the fact that a cruise ship
heading to Aruba was the first to bring the game to a wider audience.
Even though no one seems to know the origins of the game, there is no
doubt that it is a game that is much loved by many people.
Withstanding the controversy of who originated the game, there is no
doubt that more and more online casinos are providing a focus to this
style of poker game. Anything which brings a wider range of options and
choices to players has to be seen as a positive thing and online
casinos are always on the lookout for ways to provide a better service.
