Types of Poker

 


There are 3 main types of Poker games; draw poker, stud poker and community card poker. 

Draw poker is where players are dealt cards that are hidden from their opponents. Players can try to improve their hands by replacing a certain number of cards.

·Five Card Draw
·Badugi
·Gardena Jackpots
·California Lowball
·Four Before
·Johnson
·Q-Ball

Stud poker is where players are dealt cards that contain a combination of hidden and exposed cards. Their opponents have some information as to what they might have.

·Seven Card Stud
·Six Card Stud
·Razz
·Mexican Stud
·Caribbean Stud

Community card poker uses shared  cards. Players are dealt hidden cards and use them in combination with shared cards to form their hands.

·Texas Hold'em
·Pineapple Variations
·No River Hold'em
·Royal Hold'em
·Omaha
·Irish Poker
·Manila

I have listed some popular poker games here, but many more variations exist.

Celebrity Cruise - Summit Casino

  It was with no small degree of anticipation that we boarded our first voyage with Celebrity Cruises: a four-night jaunt from Fort Lauderdale, Florida over to Bimini and Nassau in the Bahamas. This was a cruise offer we received from the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City that allowed us to choose from a list of “free” (more on this later) cruises from Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Having already cruised with NCL, Carnival, and MSC, we were looking forward to the more upscale tone promised by Celebrity.

Slots - Skill Based

 While playing at Binion's Casino I noticed several skill based games. Most of these were advertised as arcade slots. Sadly, I did not take a picture of any of these machines.

Look out for these types of slots next time you visit a casino, they are legal in most jurisdictions.

My room seemed to be stuck about a decade in the past, however the beach and restaurants made up for what the room was lacking. I found there to be a good mix of old and new slots on the gaming floor. Harrah's also has one of the only poker rooms in Laughlin.  I enjoyed casino hopping by way of the river taxi. The Colorado River had beautiful clear water with giant fish. Some nearby companies offer jet ski and boat rentals. I recommend visiting both the Edgewater and Aquarius Casinos since these are newer and more up to date. The Edgewater has a full service Denny's, a new quirky donut shop with tons of unique flavors and a state of the art Bingo room. I enjoyed the free drinks offered at Bingo, both self...
