Pick
A Suit - Any Suit
Inspiration came from the scene in Vegas Vacation where Clark and Cousin
Eddie go to that odd casino with games that are 'a little different'.
Included was a game called Pick A Number, seen here, which used no device to determine the
winner. Despite being absurd to the max and ripe for dealer cheating, it was the inspiration for
a fair version, with a house edge that is reasonable but hard to calculate on the fly, fun and
easy to play, and seems to be player advantage.
Pick A Card was the result. But it's 13
betting positions and 2 side bets, was too much.
After additional consderation and some modifications, Pick A Suit was born: 4 regular betting
positions, 2 side bets, and a fully wild joker.
Game
Description
Players make a wager that a selected suit appears among the three cards to be
revealed, with varying payouts based on the number of cards that match their suit. Players
may wager on as many suits as desired.
A Joker Poker bonus side bet allows players to wager that the three cards will be a pair,
flush, straight, three of a kind or straight flush. This is similar to the Pair Plus side bet
for Three Card Poker, but with a fully wild joker.
A Progressive Jackpot side bet is triggered when the first three cards produce a straight
flush or three of a kind. In that event, a fourth card is shown. The full jackpot pays when that
card results in a four card straight flush, or four of a kind. A partial jackpot payout occurs when
the fourth card added to the straight flush is still a straight or flush, or a wild straight flush,
or when the fourth card added to the three of a kind is the fourth suit (rainbow) or a wild four of
a kind.
Casinos can offer either or both of the side bets, and the Jackpot side bet can be
progressive or not.
Unique Game
Feature
Similar to craps where one player throws the dice to determine the outcome,
one player is provided a stylus to select the cards used. If the cards are a pair or
better, the same player can select the cards on the next turn. Alternatively, the dealer
can offer a player a cut card, cut the deck, and use the top 3 cards to determine the winners.
All players play the same cards selected.
