Dealer Bluff, a game co-invented by Stacy Friedman (Math Extremest), went live yesterday at Wynn Las Vegas. On the third hand out, a player won $2,500.
Wynn and Thunder Valley in California are the only casinos to offer Dealer Bluff.

Gee, should I say congratulations or not? The casino may not like paying out that kind of money. Heck, the casino big wigs were probably still standing around watching. Or maybe they like it because other players saw what had happened and were attracted to the game? Beats me.
Thunder Valley gets blamed for bankrupting Reno but they do seem somewhat innovative.

WOO page on Dealer Bluff
Dealer Bluff is a new poker-based variant I noticed at the Wynn on September 25, 2009. It has since been removed.
I suggest that you or Stacy send him the updated information so he can correct his website.
I like the name, a lot.

I will. Wynn had originally installed--and subsequently removed--the game in 2009.

There are no second chances in life, but there are second chances in game installs? That doesn't sound right, especially for the Wynn... Is the game improved or in a different iteration of some sort?

Wynn also re-installed Mississippi Stud, which it had removed a few years ago.

We are really going to have to make the rounds at night during G2E. Over to Wynn to play Dealer's Bluff, then downtown to play Free Bet and finally out to Cannery to try House Money.......Roger, we need some consolidation on the location of new game installs :-).
I realize we will be playing Free Bet & House Money at the Show, but nothing is the same as trying a game with real $$ on the line. It is the only way to experience how the game really feels to the player.

You'd think that, but you'd be surprised how emotionally involved you can get even if there is no money on the line.
I used to play, but now deal, in a pub poker league. People take it very seriously. You'd think they won or lost their mortgage the way some people react.
I got VERY emotionally involved when I was treated to a preview of House Money at the SM office in May.
Oh, sure, I'd want to try these for cash, but playing for fun can be just as enlightening.
I invented a few casino games. Info:

Are the rules at Wynn the same as the old rules, the California rules (as shown at Discount Gambling), or something else?

I do get that way with in non-cash poker games because you are competing against another player.....battle of wits, etc. It is a competition, just like playing any other game for thrill of beating someone else.
But in a negative EV game, the only real fun for me is in beating the house edge in the short run for real cash.
