- Field trial started Nov 4 at the Flamingo
- Game is by Creative Dream Gaming
I did a search on both the game and company and couldn't find anything useful.
I have no imminent Strip visits planned. If anybody has a chance to report on the rules, please do. Don't just grab a rule card, but note any pay tables on the felt.
This game is having a trial at the Flamingo. The Flamingo is part of a much larger group of casinos. Did the management of the Flamingo decide to give it a trial or did the parent company decide and then simply assign the trial to one of its casinos? Are decisions made on the casino level or does the national company force games on the casino? Can the Director of Tables games at a casino choose to try out a game or is that decision made for him at a higher level
Are games ever tried in multiple casinos with slight variations? Might a game be given a trial in Nevada with one paytable and also in New Jersey with a different pay scale?
Does any one casino have a reputation for being the place for trying out new games.?

My experience is that if a Table Games manager asks the parent to trial a game they will usually let the requestor have the trial.
To get more specific, I think there are three groups of Caesars properties in Vegas, with a single person overseeing each group:
Group 1: Ballys, Paris, Planet
Group 2: Cromwell, Harrahs, Linq, Flamingo
Group 3: Caesars Palace
I also assume that if either the player or the dealer has multiple straights, only the longest one counts in terms of determining the winner (e.g. if the player has 9 8 7 6 4 3 2 and the dealer has 9 8 7 6 A K 3, it is a push as both players have a 9-high 4-straight even though the player's "second longest straight" is a 4-high 3-straight compared to the dealer's Ace-high 2-straight).

Thanks, fixed.

That is correct, only the highest straight in a given hand counts. The other cards don't matter.
