Caribbean stud poker is a favorite game of many gamblers. The game can be found at online casinos as well as in land casino play. Recently a resident of New York was playing the game at the Turning Stone Casino and managed to win a nice prize while playing the game.

The lucky winner was Tod Simons of Bath, New York. He was visiting the Turning Stone Casino back in December, Christmas day to be exact. A little after midnight Simons was playing Caribbean Stud poker at the casino when he was dealt a ten of hearts and a nine of hearts. These cards were followed by a seven, six and eight of hearts which gave the lucky player an inside straight flush.

With the straight flush Simons was able to win over $16,000. After taxes the win was worth almost $13,000 which is still a nice win from a casino. Simons admitted he likes to play casino games like Caribbean Stud poker but has yet to try his luck at sports betting, it’s a bit too risky for the gambler.

The game of Caribbean stud poker is similar to five card stud poker but different from the standard form of poker. The game is played against the house instead of against other players. The game does not involve bluffing or deceit of any kind so players have to just earn the cards to get a win. The odds of Simons earning the right hand to win the cash prize that he did are over 72 million to one so you can see that it is very hard to get the perfect hand to win the cash. Simons was very lucky to earn his win and will surely continue to visit the casinos to test his luck.
