If you enjoy blackjack why not give Caribbean Stud a try

It is fair to say that other than the slots most online casino games have been around for a very long time. Clearly some of these casino games have not been available at our land based casinos, and the online casinos have effectively reintroduced them to us on a much wider scale. There are however a few casino games which are relatively new, one of which is Caribbean Stud poker which seems to have been developed during the last 30 years. Caribbean Stud is a form of poker which can be played against the dealer, much the same as blackjack, and is therefore ideally suited to the online casinos and is becoming a popular introduction to online poker for inexperienced players. The player is dealt a full five card hand face-up, with the dealer also having five cards only one of which can be seen by the player. There is usually an ante bet at least equal to the minimum table stake before the deal, and when all the cards have been dealt the player has the opportunity to raise the stake further, again by at least the minimum table stake, or of course surrender their cards if they are not prepared to raise the stake. The value of the hands is in line with standard poker rules, but there is a slight twist when it comes to the dealer winning. The dealer must have what is called a qualifying hand to win, and this is usually at least Ace, King high. If the dealer does not have a qualifying hand, the raised stake money is returned to the player and the ante bet is paid out at even money. Caribbean Stud poker is a quick and easy online casino game with the player having a good chance of winning. It is also a poker game which can usually be played for low stakes and does not put the inexperienced poker player in a position of having to risk much higher stakes to stay in the game. If you enjoy blackjack and are looking for a change Caribbean Stud may well be the casino game for you. Give it a try.
