Is Blackjack a form of poker
Caribbean Stud Poker
On of the most popular casino poker games worldwide is Caribbean Poker, or Caribbean Stud Poker. There are a couple major differences from a standard poker game, though.
First, players play against the house - not each other. Players also get all five cards at once rather than in sequence with a betting round after each.
Basic Game Play:
Each player begins put putting in his or her ante. The dealer puts out five cards for each player and the house itself.
One of the house's cards is dealt face up. Each player can now put in twice his or her original ante (a "call bet") or give up the hand.
Play then goes directly to showdown. The dealer has to have AK or better to have a qualifying hand. If he doesn't the player's ante and call bet are returned plus an ante.
If the player's hand is equal to the dealer's it's a "push" and the ante and call bet are returned to the player.

Video Poker – The Best House Odds in the Casino
As plenty of casino regulars will tell you, sitting at the bar playing video poker is usually (at worst) a break-even proposition.
With the free drinks flowing and great odds if you play the proper strategy you can spend a few hours idling away on a video poker machine and come up none the worse the wear on your bankroll.
If you’re betting properly you also stand a pretty good chance of hitting some big jackpots. Plenty of video poker options are also available at online casinos with a few different variants and game types to choose from.
The most popular you’ll find Jacks or Better but Deuces Wild and Joker’s Wild are other common options.
Whatever the machine the principles are still the same:
- Official poker hand rankings are used
- All forms of video poker are essentially Draw game with five cards dealt off the top rather than two or four in a regular poker game
- You pick which cards to hold or discard in each round
- Your final five-card hand determines your payout with a Royal Flush (the top hand possible) with maximum betting credits risked will give you the highest payout.
In Jacks or Better, you need to have at least a pair of Jacks to get paid.
Standard Odds for Jacks or Better Video Poker
Royal Flush - 250x (bonuses of 4000x or more when betting max credits)
Straight Flush - 50x
Four of a Kind - 25x
