For all you poker online aficionados out there, the title of this article may seem quite unusual. After all, we all know what a casino table looks like right? Well, yes and no. We all know what the standard kitchen table variety looks like, but you can’t play Caribbean Stud Poker on any old table. The need for special equipment is one of the reasons that Caribbean Stud Poker is considered a casino poker game instead of a normal poker variety.
At a Caribbean Stud Poker player, there are two bet areas in front of each player, as well as an electronic money slot. The two bet areas are for your ante and your standard bet. No surprise there. What is unusual for a poker table, on the other hand, is the electronic money slot. In most cases these slots are built directly into the table. The slot is where you place your Jackpot bet. It is kept separate from the other money on the table because the casino calculates the payout on the Jackpot separately from the payout for standard table play. By monitoring the Jackpot electronically, a casino can track the up to date betting history that they need to accurately calculate a progressive jackpot.
Even though a Caribbean Stud Poker table may look slightly different than your average poker table, don’t let that dissuade you from trying your hand at this great poker variety.
