Las Vegas is getting a brand new casino game, thanks to a successful field trial at Harrah\u2019s and approval by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB).<\/p>\n

Five-card pai gow poker is a variation on the traditional seven-card version of the game. Angel Espino, the owner of Casino Gaming Development (CGD) who created the game, said it \u201cspeeds up and simplifies\u201d pai gow poker, resulting in \u201cmore hands per hour\u201d and minimal \u201cdealer and player error.\u201d<\/p>\n

You split the two hands and you have to win both hands to win the wager.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In contrast to traditional pai gow poker, where five cards create the high hand and two the low, Espino\u2019s variation includes three cards for the high hand and two for the low. \u201cThe guest plays against the dealer,\u201d he explained. \u201cYou split the two hands and you have to win both hands to win the wager.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NGCB was a big fan of Espino\u2019s creation. In fact, the regulatory body said it appreciated the innovation behind the idea and looked forward to seeing more games from CGD in the future.<\/p>\n

Harrah\u2019s noted some benefits to the game, including the fact that it is simpler for dealers. A lot of players asked questions during the field trial, according to Harrah\u2019s las Vegas Casino Manager Lucas Botsis, but there were no disputes. <\/p>\n

Dustin Brown, Vice President of Gaming for Harrah\u2019s owner Caesars Entertainment, said he would like to see a progressive added to the game. \u201cThe next step is to get that progressive on there and see if we can get another lift in our hold percentage, drop, and win,\u201d he said. The hold percentage during the trial was 33%.<\/p>\n
