3 Shot Poker

3 Shot Poker is one of the newest Las Vegas table game. Players receive two cards after making a 1st Shot bet and an optional 5 Shot one. There are three community cards. The player may raise double the 1st Shot or fold. The raise covers a 2nd and 3rd Shot bet. There is no dealer hand.

The player’s two cards turn into three three-card hands using one of the community cards for each Shot bet. The game is available at Flamingo and Harrah’s for $5. Read more 3 Shot Poker details here.

Asia Poker

Asia Poker is back in Las Vegas. The game is played like pai gow poker except that the high hand is only four cards. The extra card becomes the front hand. So, the two-card hand becomes the middle hand. To get paid, the player has to win two of the three hands. The house wins all ties on hands. It is dealt at Gold Coast for a $15 minimum.

Big Wheel

While live big wheels have been decreasing in number, they are available at many electronic table game stadiums. Most big wheel games are auto-play. The wheel spins automatically while a camera shows the results on the large screens and players’ gaming screens. The multiplayer version works similarly but has fewer player seats. It also only offers one game.

Casino War

Casino War is slowly disappearing in Las Vegas. It is a simple game where one card is dealt to the player and dealer. The player wins by beating the house and loses when the dealer wins. Ties either lose half the bet or go into a war where the player doubles the bet to save the original one. The same rules are applied after a war except that another tie pays the player 2/1.

It has a $15 minimum bet at Cosmopolitan. Wynn deals it for a $25 minimum.

Criss Cross Poker

Criss Cross Poker, a popular table game on the East Coast, has reappeared once again in Las Vegas. It has struggled in the Las Vegas market. Previous sightings include The Strat in 2022, Linq in 2019, and Planet Hollywood a few years before. During a September 2023 walkthrough, we spotted a table at Golden Nugget. It has a $5 minimum.

In Criss Cross Poker, the player receives two cards after making two ante bets. A five-card board is dealt in a plus sign. The center card is used in both directions to make a five-card hand with the player’s two hole cards. There are three additional bets of one to three times the ante. The player may fold instead of making one of these bets. The player wins on a pair of jacks or better and pushes on a pair of sixes through tens.

DJ Wild

DJ Wild is dealt at Harrah’s and Flamingo on the Las Vegas Strip. The game uses a 52-card deck with a joker. It is wild along with the deuces. The player and dealer each receive five cards after an ante and blind are made. The player doubles the ante to play or folds all bets. The blind bonus pays on winning hands of a straight or better. There is also an optional side bet. Both properties offer the game for $5 or $10, depending on the time of day.

I Luv Suits

I Luv Suits plays like High Card Flush. We include the two games on the same page.

Jackpot Hold’em

Jackpot Hold’em is like Ultimate Texas Hold’em. The main difference is that players see one of the flop cards before making a decision to raise preflop. The maximum raise preflop is three times. Jackpot Hold’em is found at Sahara. It has a $10 minimum bet. At Circus Circus, it is $5.

Pai Gow Tiles

Pai Gow Tiles is the original version of the poker game. It is dealt at several Strip casinos and a locals one. We found it for a $25 minimum at Paris and Palace Station. It was $50 at Bellagio and MGM Grand. It is $100 at Aria, Caesars Palace, Encore, and Wynn. Harrah’s and Rio no longer deal pai gow tiles.

Wild Five Poker

Wild Five Poker is dealt at two Boyd Gaming locals casinos. Players make an ante and receive five cards. Deuces and a joker are wild. Players have the option of raising one to three times the wager or folding. The minimum bet is $5 at Cannery and $10 at Aliante.

Table games lost in Las Vegas

Do not see a table game listed above? It may be one of many games that were once dealt in Las Vegas but have left the market.

Ricochet Poker ended a short run at Binion’s. Brief appearances were made by Deuces Wild Hold’em at The D, Four Card Frenzy at Santa Fe Station, and La Paire at El Cortez. Heart Attack was dealt at the Palms prior to the pandemic, but the game did not return upon reopening. Three Card Prime left The Strat in 2022. It was replaced by Three Card Poker, which is a similar game.

Palazzo and Venetian were the last casinos to deal Caribbean Stud. Venetian also had Prosperity 3 Pictures and  Raging Bullseye. All these games are MIA.

Others have disappeared more recently. 3 Dice Baccarat was a short-lived game at Planet Hollywood. Dealt for part of 2023, it rolled three dice for the banker and three for the player. The pips were then added together. The last digit of the total was used to determine the winner, which was the hand closest to nine. It had a $15 minimum. The last Texas Hold’em Bonus table was removed when Fremont remodeled its table game pit.

235 Stud

235 Stud was available exclusively at Plaza. It combined two-card, three-card, and five-card poker hands. The player must bet on all three. There were two optional side bets. The hand was paid based on its strength. There was no dealer hand. The minimum bet per stack was usually $5. This means $15 to $25 was needed to play a hand. A Hat Trick side bet was also available.

3 Card Blitz

3 Card Blitz is a point game. Aces are worth 11 points. All other cards have a blackjack value. The player and dealer receive 7 cards after an ante is posted. The highest point value in a suit is what plays. If the player wishes to stay in action against the dealer, an amount equal to the ante must be raised. This game is dealt at Sahara. The minimum bet is $10.

Deuces Wild Hold’em Fold’em

This game was only dealt at Sam’s Town with a $5 minimum bet. It is comparable to Let it Ride with an ante and Deuces Wild. It vanished in 2022.

Keep N Straight

In March 2022, we discovered a new game at Flamingo. It vanished later that year. Keep N Straight had a $5 minimum bet. The object is similar to High Card Flush but with straights. The player’s goal is to have a higher and longer straight than the dealer.

Royal 3 Pictures

Royal 3 Pictures was previously dealt at Venetian for a $10 minimum bet in 2019. The object of the game is to have a higher value hand than the dealer. The more face card hands, the better, as these count as pictures. All other cards count as face value. It disappeared

Sic Bo

While there are no live Sic Bo tables in Las Vegas, a couple of electronic versions have appeared, and then disappeared. Added in March 2022, the heads-up Sic Bo game at Resorts World had the Australian casino pay table. This is one of the best pay tables for the game. It had a $1 minimum bet. Another Sic Bo-based game was at the Venetian. This game is a hybrid Sic Bo game with random slot multipliers. It also had a $1 minimum.

The Resorts World video sic bo disappeared later in 2022. At last check, the Venetian version moved to Palazzo before disappearing from the casino floor.

Super Baccarat

First seen at the end of 2020, Super Baccarat was baccarat with side bets. It is owned by Las Vegas Sands. Both Venetian and Palazzo dealt it for $15. We last saw it in 2022.
