An Overview Of Casino Poker Games

With so many different poker games and variations to choose from, it is easy to become confused as to what exactly you can find in casinos, both live and online. A key distinction is between casino poker games – where you play the ‘house’ and multi-player poker games where participants play each other (though the house still takes their cut!). Here we will focus on the <a href=http://www.coolcasinosclub.com/>casino games</a> which can be played against the house, either one-on-one as you will find online, or alongside other players.

Casino Poker Games #1 – Caribbean Stud Poker

Caribbean Stud poker is one of the most popular poker games and widely available in both online casinos and live. You are dealt 5 cards and must make a better poker hand than the dealer, basing your decision to raise or fold on your cards and the dealers ‘upcard’. This simple game features big payouts for flushes, full house and better – and often comes with a progressive jackpot side bet awarding 6 or even 7 figures!

Casino Poker Games #2 – Tri-Card Poker

You will find this game with many variations of ‘tri’, ‘three’, and ‘trey’ in the name. This is a fun and fast moving game where you have to make a poker hand out of just 3 cards and beat the dealers qualifying hand. You can usually make a second bet – on your hand containing a pair or better – which pays out some big prizes, including up to 40-to-1 if you are dealt a 3-card straight flush.

Casino Poker Games #3 – Pai-Gow Poker

Pai-Gow Poker can look a little confusing the first time you see it – however, it is easy once you get the hang of it. In this poker game you are dealt 7 cards, and split them into your best ‘high hand’ (5 card hand) and ‘Low hand’ (2 card hand). Your objective is to beat the dealer with both hands. When playing online you can choose to let the computer choose the optimal hands for you – this is known as the ‘house way’.

Casino Poker Games #4 – Video Poker

Video Poker is familiar to most gamblers! What you may not realize is how much creativity and innovation the ability to host video poker machines online has lead to. With both traditional ‘Deuces Wild’ or ‘Jacks or Better’ sitting alongside games with great features, progressive jackpots and up to 100 hands for a single coin.

Casino Poker Games #5 – Casino Texas Holdem Poker

Texas Holdem has taken the poker world by storm, so it is only natural that casinos should take this variation and adapt it to player against house format. What you will find with the casino version is a flop, turn and river round giving you many opportunities to make extra bets on your winning hands, while hands with lower prospects can be ditched early. Big payouts await those players hitting full house hands or better.
