Caribbean Stud Online
Famed gaming strategist and celebrated author David Sklansky has caused a commotion by laying a claim to the introduction of the casino favorite Caribbean Poker. Sklansky recently made the claim in an article on twoplustwo.com, a site where he is a forum moderator, partial owner and regular contributor to the site’s weekly magazine. Noone until now has been able to lay claim to the foundation of the game Carribean Stud Poker. Many tales have emerged over the past 20 years regarding the true roots of the game. While many of the particulars differ, the different stories all agree that the game was first played in the Caribbean region. At present, through Sklansky’s revelation, it seems the games origins lie in the United States and not the Caribbean. David Sklansky says that he originally came up with the idea for the game back in 1982. Casino Poker, Sklansky’s game utilised 5 card stud poker rules and hand rankings and each person in the game would play their hand versus the house. While largely the same in the underlying rules, Casino Poker and Carribean Stud Poker did have a few key differencesformat, progressive jackpots are used to make the game more appealing via five and six figure jackpots and the dealer exposes only the final card they are given. In the original game, the dealer had to expose two of his cards and there were no associated jackpot prizes.
