(Mr CasinoGames®) will be showing 2 New Table Games:

2+1® Multi-Deck Hold’em™: 2+1 Multi-Deck Hold’em is played from a shoe using from 6 or 8 decks of standard 52 playing cards.

Stephen, are they doing this twice per year? I thought I remembered one earlier in 2013 but I could be mistaken.

Any word on Riverboat Roulette? I have it from a good source than Roulette for Poker may cross the pond next year !

Grosvenor’s Corporate Table Games Program Manager, Ian Shanahan, was appreciative of the Luck brothersmaking the journey “across the pond” and stated, “If a roulette variation is going to make it anywhere in the world, it will make it in the UK”.

When is someone like Wynn going to do this on this side of the Pond.....Switch, time for you to assert your influence there :-).

Once per year in the May/June timeframe (opposite of timing of G2E/Ravings). Demand for event would allow Wynn to be very choosy on who they allowed to exhibit and strike very good deals on new games directly with Indie's if they saw something they liked.

Any word on Riverboat Roulette?

Several of the games at the previous showcase are being trialled in various casinos (see https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gaming-business/game-inventors/14917-dan-and-the-luck-brothers/ ) . In particular I saw the Riverboat wheel in Salford - but it was Sunday afternoon so not being used (more info on page 39 of https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gaming-business/game-inventors/11139-riverboat-roulette-roulette-with-place-bets-multiple-spin-wagers/39/ ).

Thanks for the news about another evening; the last one was great fun and I hope they retry Players Choice (with my suggested odds!!) as that was my favourite game together with the 6-card Pai Gow variant (in the UK people don't really know the normal 7-card game, so sadly I'm not so sure about its chance).

Stephen, can you post your AnteWin Pay table ?

Speedy BJ pays even money, and 6/5 BJ may come to that in the near future. But people hate to hit 12 or 13, hate even more to double
down on those two totals. Players not excited to stand on hard 14,15, & 16. Losing half when you can bust may compensate
mathematically, but I think few players will accept the trade-offs.

Sounds an interesting game but my concern is some players might not like standing on 14-16 as this stops them from making the best play and also it means the player doesn't bust very often (reducing the nice bust feature). It seems strange that you're better off busting than being stuck on low totals vs an A or 10 (I assume you receive the 1/2 loss even if the dealer makes BJ)! Also I don't know how popular the Blackjack pays evens would be - but I can understand that with an HE of about .6% you can't have BJ paying 3/2.

btw I assume you are not allowed to Double Down on totals greater than 13 (this makes sense under some circumstances rather than a forced Stand, e.g. 17 vs 8 9!).

I think the best thing about the game is that it's always correct to hit 13s and lower (unless doubling 11-9 as normal except 9vs3), so apart from doubling and splitting (some new ones aren't obvious) a player can't really mess you up by playing wrong.

Hi Buzzard,
Thanks for your feedback.

Speedy blackjack has its advantage and disadvantages as show below.

Disadvantages (as you have already mentioned):
1. Blackjack pays even money.
2. Player must hit hard totals of 13 or lower and must stand on hard totals of 14 or higher (I think a lot of players use this as their standard blackjack strategy regardless of dealer is up card).

Advantages:
1. A very fast blackjack game about 90-Round per Hour (double the normal speed of blackjack).
2. Player busts he only lose 1/2 of the hand wager.
3. Player can't really mess you up by playing wrong.
4. House edge = around 0.7%
5. less player decisions = less error.

P.S. As for the 2+1® Multi-Deck Hold’em: I don't want the public to know the AnteWin Pay table just yet, but I can tell you the House edge = around 3.8%.

Well Stephen, without pay table really hard to give objective feedback. But you already know that.

This is what bothers me most :

3. Player can't really mess you up by playing wrong.

They can still split 5's LOL

Seriously, if I can not make a decision on stiffs, I would prefer to just leave my money there and come back later
to see if I won or not.

As for dealing twice as many hands, what about $5, $15, and $25. The first and last are common. And you would have to make change
on a lot of hands. A pink chip, if casino uses it for $5 tables. But no silver or white chips usually means less tips. at $25 instead of just scooping a green chip when a player busts, the dealer would also have to give the player 2 reds and a pink.

To say nothing of the jerk who bets $31 on a $25 table.

Switch will need to educate us on Picture Perfect & 1/3/3.

Triple Attack Blackjack hasn't seemed to work in the US that I can tell. Have BJ variants, even great ones like Switch worked in the UK. I think McDemon had mentioned that PGP was a no go in the UK, wonder if that is true for BJ variants as well. Plus, I don't think Triple Attack with its AP vulnerability to the Ace Count is a good option for operators in any event....these days, Switch or Free Bet are the go to variants.

BaccPo? Really......the name alone is a non-starter for me. The game looks a lot like BaccJack that is going to be displayed at the upcoming Raving Conference. And both games look a lot like Lucky 9, that has been around since like 2006. Does anyone really have clean IP for this combination of single player's Baccarat Hand against the Dealer hand with drawing options for the player and standard drawing rules for the dealer? Maybe you can get protection on your unique house edge mechanism, but the game play has been out there for a long time.

5 Card Rush...can't find anything on this game.

Sorry I can't find my notes at present, so these are the ones I can remember. I'm assuming all the games are already patented, so please forgive me if I give out too many details.

Firstly some of the games from the previous event, about 6 months ago, are on trial (there's a thread which lists them all somewhere); the only one I've personally played is High Card Flush, but I have heard that they may have put Players Choice 21 back. The other I've seen is Riverboat Roulette.

The first three games (#1-3) were electronic tables: Roulette, Blackjack and UTH. I believe they were to have gone live the following evening. I recognised the expert, as I met him when UTH originally went into Reading; we had a chat and clarified the rule on UTH (that you can fold and still claim trips bet) - it seems fairly easy to change the software.

Geoff had two games going: the first was 133 which essentially was Two Hands out of Three Wins. Simply put Players receive six cards and one card - the latter forms the 1-card hand - the others can be played anyway to form two 3-card poker hands. The Dealer gets 7 cards, makes the best 3-card hand possible, then the best type of hand, then the best 1-card. The house edge comes from the player having to play the dealt 1-card hand whereas the Dealer with (say) 543 AQ98 can play 543, A98, Q-high.

Geoff's second game "Picture Perfect" was really fun (which is why I didn't get to see all the games) and based on a modified deck - where there are no 4-2s but eight K-Js (it's easy for the house to build this from 2 normal decks). Basically you get 7 cards and have to have the most picture cards - there are some additional nice features - but it seemed easy to pick up. (As we were playing all the side bets, I didn't appreciate the mechanism which is a mandatory sidebet allowing for the basic game to be well in the player's favour). I like the idea of allowing the player to win more often on the main game but at the cost of a sidebet which doesn't lose when you win the game - the House Edge comes from paying fairly bad odds.

Triple Down Blackjack - this is already in Empire and known in the US.

5-card : there was something about you wagered on the suit (there were 4 bets possible and probably a sidebet somewhere) and the dealer dealt upto 5-cards until there were two in a suit. You won if that was your suit and got paid different amounts based on when it happened (I think 2/1 was the obvious payout, so this allowed high values for other outcomes).

Roulette - I tend to ignore these but the two versions on show were Dragon and Lucky Symbols. The former is in the Hippodrome and the latter in Empire. What is nice is the ability to pay more than 35/1 on one spin of the wheel, so there's something there, but not my cup-of-tea.

5-card draw - I'll have to look at my notes and have a leaflet somewhere, but it was based on receiving 5-cards, paying to draw some (or none) more, paying to draw one (or none) more, and paid according to a paytable. Interesting game but essentially another draw and pay, win if lucky game.

There was another game based on receiving 7-cards, almost identical logic to HCFlush but based on straights. Personally I found myself comparing it to HCF, so couldn't really see the point of it as flushes seemed easier to spot (and 2AK was the lowest straight).

There was a game based on Baccarat where the dealer has an upcard and the players receive two cards and can draw or not. I forget whether you could double, paid for a card or whatever, but kept comparing it to Lucky Draw Baccarat (which has had limited success).

Stephen had two games which I didn't get time to look at in great detail, one of these was a Blackjack variant which looked interesting. It had some nice features and a few choices, but usually you just took cards until you got to 14 or more.

Finally, for now, there was a new section at the far end based on on-line gaming and possible fruit machines - I think IGT had been asked along and were showing some of their new ideas.


Personally of all the games, I liked "Picture Perfect" the best and can see it, with a few tweaks, being the one that wins this round.

Basically you get 7 cards and have to have the most picture cards - there are some additional nice features - but it seemed easy to pick up. (As we were playing all the side bets, I didn't appreciate the mechanism which is a mandatory sidebet allowing for the basic game to be well in the player's favour). I like the idea of allowing the player to win more often on the main game but at the cost of a sidebet which doesn't lose when you win the game - the House Edge comes from paying fairly bad odds.

Triple Down Blackjack - this is already in Empire and known in the US.

5-card : there was something about you wagered on the suit (there were 4 bets possible and probably a sidebet somewhere) and the dealer dealt upto 5-cards until there were two in a suit. You won if that was your suit and got paid different amounts based on when it happened (I think 2/1 was the obvious payout, so this allowed high values for other outcomes).

Roulette - I tend to ignore these but the two versions on show were Dragon and Lucky Symbols. The former is in the Hippodrome and the latter in Empire. What is nice is the ability to pay more than 35/1 on one spin of the wheel, so there's something there, but not my cup-of-tea.

5-card draw - I'll have to look at my notes and have a leaflet somewhere, but it was based on receiving 5-cards, paying to draw some (or none) more, paying to draw one (or none) more, and paid according to a paytable. Interesting game but essentially another draw and pay, win if lucky game.

There was another game based on receiving 7-cards, almost identical logic to HCFlush but based on straights. Personally I found myself comparing it to HCF, so couldn't really see the point of it as flushes seemed easier to spot (and 2AK was the lowest straight).

There was a game based on Baccarat where the dealer has an upcard and the players receive two cards and can draw or not. I forget whether you could double, paid for a card or whatever, but kept comparing it to Lucky Draw Baccarat (which has had limited success).

Stephen had two games which I didn't get time to look at in great detail, one of these was a Blackjack variant which looked interesting. It had some nice features and a few choices, but usually you just took cards until you got to 14 or more.

Finally, for now, there was a new section at the far end based on on-line gaming and possible fruit machines - I think IGT had been asked along and were showing some of their new ideas.


Personally of all the games, I liked "Picture Perfect" the best and can see it, with a few tweaks, being the one that wins this round.


Hi Charliepatrick,
Thanks for the updates. I think you got 2 of the names wrong:

Triple Attack Blackjack not Triple Down Blackjack. (Galaxy Gaming)
Double Draw Poker not 5-Card Draw. (SHFL Entertainment)
Straight Edge Poker is the 7-cards Draw Poker. (SHFL Entertainment)
BaccPo is the game based on Baccarat. (TCS-JohnHuxley)
Speedy Blackjack™ is were you just took cards until you got to 14 or more, if Player busts he only lose 1/2. (Mr CasinoGames®)

Just a quick follow-up as I heard back from Grosvenor Casinos today.

'1 3 3' didn't get accepted for a UK trial (which doesn't surprise me as it needs tweaking more). However, they are going ahead with a trial of 'Picture Perfect' early next year so I'm really pleased about that.

Not sure of any other results from the show as yet.

Congratulations, Switch, on the Picture Perfect trial! Hope it goes really well for you.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

...a trial of 'Picture Perfect'....

Congratulations - hope it goes well as I thought it was easy to understand and very social game (although I doubt they'll allow everyone to discuss how many pictures they have in real play).

Thanks Charlie and I agree that the number of pictures you hold should not be disclosed to other players.

I finally got to see the game live in Bradford and see that some of the pay-tables were tweaked (which I'm guessing affects the play with 3 Aces, but didn't have my spreadsheet around) and one can play no pictures with 4 Aces. It was very quiet so nobody else played it, but I understand it's having some action at weekends. The dealer made a couple of mistakes, but they had had an all-staff party the night before!

Looking forward to seeing the rules Stephen.....I can't keep track of all you games :-).

Congrats on the placements, are they the first live placements for these games or do you have them installed at other locations?

Well done (and thanks for the die at Coventry). Is the draw-poker the same one that's at Broadway - I like that one (but it relies on good hands coming along to keep you in the game)? Also are you allowed to say which casinos - when the football season starts again there might be a few away games I'll go to! Thanks

Hi Charliepatrick,

No, this is not the same Draw-poker at Broadway.

This one is: Trip Cards® Draw-Poker.
The one in Broadway is: Raies'em® 3-Card Draw (It is still there and doing will. started Sep-2013).
