*Isle of Capri Waterloo, Waterloo, IA: 3 1/2 years (September 30, 2013), 3 tables. Very strong drop, hold, and very strong following
*Catfish Bend Casino, Burlington, IA: (November 23, 2016), over 4 months, very good hold and drop, popularity is gaining
*Meskwaki Bingo & Casino, Tama, IA: (March 15, 2017), two weeks. This is the closet casino to Waterloo, so all the players and dealers are very familiar with the game. Last weekend had extremely strong play. No numbers were shared, but the demand is there.
Next Step
Focus/goal is to play connect the dots with the other casinos in the area. Focusing on Iowa before going into other jurisdictions.
Match'em HI LO App
Additionally, I am in the midst of developing the app for the game. Currently, the app simulator has the game working/programmed perfectly. The game plays exactly as the table game. Now, comes the easy part, getting the game to loop, add the winnings, and off to Apple for approval.
However, tax season, clients, and high school baseball are getting in the way. As a result, I'm lowering my expectations, hoping to have the app completed the end of the second quarter or the end of August.

Good stuff. Keep up the good work Taxman!
Excellent progress and in line with my expectations based on our last meeting...get those dots connected, Prairie Meadows and Lakeside would close the circle east of Des Moines...Match'em Hi Lo becoming a regional phenomena!!
Congrats on the persistence and excellent results...a game that lasts 3+ years on the floor with real players betting real money is in exclusive company. Next hurdle is to double that table count...10 tables at 6-8 different properties would be another level of accomplishment...and I think you can get there!!
