Enjoying Caribbean Stud Poker

<h1>Enjoying Caribbean Stud Poker - Part 1 of 4</h1>Author: <a title="Will Win" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/will-win/6972.htm">Will Win</a> This amazing and enjoyable game was born on the Caribbean islands. Just how it got to the rest of the world is an easy tale. The primary vehicle was cruise ships. Soon, passengers were learning this game and before too long, it appeared in many casino pits. What's amazing is that the game survived, so you know it's good. Many games have been tried in casino pits and almost all fail.

Caribbean Stud Poker is popular because it's so darn easy to learn and it's fun. The game is played with a regular 52-card deck on a blackjack-style table. Each table holds up to 7 players. And of course, you can play at online casinos. Some online casinos have multi-player Caribbean Stud Poker. Even if you're playing by yourself, it's still a fun game.

When you look at a Caribbean Stud Poker table you'll notice five main areas of interest to the game. The closest to your seat is the card area where you'll receive your cards each hand. The dealer also has a card area. These are the two main focal points during a hand.

Following that up are the three betting areas in Caribbean Stud Poker. First, there's the Ante spot. This is where you place your first bet for each hand. It's required to play. The second betting spot is the progressive slot. If you slip $1 into the progressive slot before each hand, you'll be qualified to win one of the progressive jackpots should you receive the proper hand. More on this later. And the last betting spot is the Raise wager spot. This is a required bet to stay in the hand after you've received your cards. We'll discuss all of this in more detail shortly.

Seeing the betting options should put your mind at ease about this game. It's not complicated. You bet, get your cards, bet a fixed amount to stay in, and win or lose. It's very simple. Heck, even a child could pick up Caribbean Stud Poker to a degree and play. Perhaps the “biggest” item to learn is the hand ranking. But, if you already play poker or video poker, you know this. And if not, it's fairly easy-especially online where they have help menus.

In the next part of our Caribbean Stud Poker series we'll talk about the action of a hand from start to finish. Later in the series, we'll talk about payouts, hand ranking, and progressives, which vary from casino to casino. Some call Caribbean Stud Poker a “carnival” game, because the house advantage is high. Still, it's a great game to break up the monotony and there's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself every now and then.About the Author: Will Win is a professional gambler, ex casino dealer and author.
