Hey Wizard,

Whats the chance that you'll add 3-Card to your games list?

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood?

BTW are there any casinos that pay the full 1-4-6-30-40 on the PP any more? I've seen them online, but from what I've read that is rare.

The Golden Moon and Silver Star in Pearl River, Mississippi both pay the full 1-4-6-30-40.

I didn't realize that this wasn't the norm anymore. That's disheartening.

Okay, I've been thinking about the annual cost to players of the Ante Bonus mistake in Three Card Poker. Here is how I worked it out:

From the 2009 Gaming Revenue Report, the revenue from "other games" in 2009 was $126,912,000. Let's assume 20% of that was from Three Card Poker, or $25,382,400.


Correction for the Wizard

Before you put this in your column make the following correction. Three Card Poker is more popular than you assumed. Check the Gaming Revenue Report. Three card poker is it's own itemized line and revenue was $134,181,000 in the year 2009.

Thanks! Good catch. That brings the cost of that error in 2009 to $682,000.

I hope you won't mind if I make a semi-fake question in my next column about this, under your name as the asker.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

No problem. You put a semi-fake question (and my paper) in your ATW #232 which led to an interesting contact with Professor Henk Tijms of the Netherlands. A lot of people read your column.
