Caribbean Stud Poker Review

Where To Play

Caribbean Stud Poker was a very popular game when it was first introduced over ten years ago.

Playing poker hands against the house can be entertaining, but the house edge of 5.22% is a drawback. And if you are considering the side bet for the progressive, keep in mind that the meter would need to reach nearly $220,000 for the bet to be even.

Caribbean Stud Poker is based on the traditional five card stud poker game, where you pit your hand against the house.

By its very nature Caribbean Stud Poker is not especially favorable for the player, when Las Vegas casinos first added Caribbean Stud Poker; they needed to include a progressive jackpot sweetener. In truth the jackpot doesn't benefit the Caribbean Stud Poker player that much but it has helped to make the game popular enough to become a pretty standard not only in Nevada, but in casinos all over the country.

Something tells me if Caribbean Stud Poker was actually called Jamaican Stud Poker they would be more laid back about such things as the house advantage. Caribbean Stud comes from the more anal retentive of the vacation islands so it has a built-in house advantage of 5.26%. So for every $100 a player wagers, in the long run they should lose $5.26. There are ways to tip the odds to something that is closer to 50/50 than the current 55.26/44.74.

The Aim of the Caribbean Stud Poker

The aim of the game is for your poker hand to beat the dealers hand. If you draw one of the top five caribbean stud hands, you will also be in the running for an additional jackpot bonus -all you have to do is place an extra wager on the jackpot.
