I visit Biloxi Casinos often...several of the casinos have a $1 side bet in their 3-Card Poker games. The side bet would get the full 'pot' total, IF you draw a SPADE Royal, it would get you $500 in any other Royal, lesser amounts on other hands. Someone recently hit for over $19,000 at the Imperial Palace for drawing a SPADE Royal and having the side bet. How high does the 'pot' need to be before it is recomended to play it?
Thanks for your comments. Newell

Shuffle Master also provides another paytable (it also pays for a straight), and it would have a differant break even point.
