The poker game known as stud poker is a casino table game that has rules that are similar to the poker game known as five card stud. The only unique thing about this game is that players play against the house and not against each other which is the case in other poker games. Caribbean stud poker also allows players to bluff as well as perform various forms of deceptions. This game was introduced due to the rise in popularity of the poker game all over the world. The game was used to lure poker players to play in more tables.

History

David Sklansky is the individual who has laid claim to the formulation of caribbean stud poker in many poker forums claiming that he was the one who invented the game and this was in the year 1982 whichwas being called casino poker at that time. During this time the rules of the game were quite different to the regular casino game for example the dealer of the game was supposed to have 2 hole cards revealed instead of 1 which is what is required in Caribbean stud poker today. The progressive jackpot was also not allowed in this game in the early days of caribbean stud poker. It is hard to really know who invented the caribbean stud poker game because David never pantented it. He claims that the game was bought by a poker player a few years after he invented it and this is when they changed the rules to have the game as it is today. There are however many stories that talk about the origin of the game but no one can really tell for sure where the game originated from.
