  I am not much of a poker player, but I know a thing or two about the game, from a game theory perspective, if you know what I mean. And I just want to say that maybe you should put more technical details in your article and if you want, I'd be the guy to ask.

History

The majority of casino games come with quite long histories. For instance, the history of Craps stretches back to the times of the Roman Empire, when the Romans played for the property of the crucified. Caribbean Stud Poker, on the other hand, doesn't have such a long and illustrious history. It only dates back to the late 1980s. No one knows exactly who developed it, or why. Some feel that it was thanks to an attempt to mix Poker and Blackjack, since you have to beat the dealer by making a winning poker hand, and the game also possesses a betting sequence much like Blackjack. Also as in Blackjack, the player plays against the dealer. There are two theories as to how it was that Caribbean Stud came into existence. The most popular theory is that it originated on the Caribbean island of Aruba, in a Dutch casino. The first records of the game being played identify the location as the King International Casino, which is today named the Excelsior Casino.
