Caribbean Stud Poker is a form of 5-card stud poker, except with a progressive jackpot. In land-based and online casinos, Caribbean stud poker is fast gaining popularity at levels that known poker games like Texas Hold'em, 7-card stud, and Omaha poker have enjoyed.
What makes this casino game so appealing is that it combines the challenge-based aspect of a table game with the luck-based aspect of a progressive jackpot game. With an estimated 50 million players in the United States alone, poker is considered America's most popular card game.
Caribbean Stud Poker and Let It Ride poker are newer offshoots of five-card draw poker, and have yet to see a big number of experts and champions emerge.
Frank Scoblete (Considered America's #1 bestselling author of gaming books, he wrote Bold Card Play, touted by most casino gambling experts as the most recommended book on Caribbean stud poker strategy.)
Stanley Ko (He is a renowned game analyst and author of several bestselling gaming books, including Mastering the Game of Caribbean Stud Poker, is said to offer the most thorough analysis of the game.)
Lenny Frome (He is a renowned video poker expert and author of bestselling casino gaming books, based on whose strategies video game versions of both video poker and Caribbean stud poker were developed.)
