Already known for its liberal blackjack rules and 3 to 2 payouts on all 21 games, the Four Queens Hotel & Casino continues its strategy of being at the forefront of gaming innovation with the addition of new table games, the likes of which cannot be found anywhere else in downtown Las Vegas.     


Beginning May 1, 2008, guests at the Four Queens will be able to experience Progressive Fortune Pai Gow Poker®. The new game will be the latest of several new table games that the Four Queens recently has added, including California Draw Poker™, World Championship Three Card Poker® and Blackjack Switch®.


Progressive Fortune Pai Gow Poker®- Players make a standard Pai Gow wager and have the option to bet on the Fortune Bonus wager. Players making at least a $5.00 Fortune wager qualify for Envy Bonus payouts, which win whenever someone else at the table receives a four-of-a-kind or higher.  The Four Queens is the only downtown casino and one of only two casinos in Las Vegas to offer the progressive version of the game, in which a $1.00 wager on the Progressive makes the player eligible to win 100% of the Progressive Jackpot, which starts at $10,000.00.


California Draw Poker™ - Players are dealt four cards with one card dealt face up.  The dealer receives five cards but must use the face-up card to solve his/her hand.  Players are allowed to discard and draw one new card in order to make the best four-card poker hand.  Any four-of-a-kind pays 300 to 1 plus an ante bonus.  The Four Queens is the only casino in all of Las Vegas to offer the game.


World Championship Three Card Poker® - While other downtown casinos may offer Three Card Poker®, the Four Queens is the only downtown property with a World Championship-qualifying table.  Players that make a qualifying ante wager and receive an Ace-King-Queen suited win a 50 to 1 ante bonus and an entry into a satellite event for a chance at a seat in the $1.2 million World Championship Tournament held in December 2008.


"We are always on the look out for innovative games that will appeal to our guests," said Glenn Casale, director of casino operations at the Four Queens.  "We constantly monitor industry developments and feedback from our players so we can offer games that set us apart from the competition."


The Four Queens was the first casino in Las Vegas to offer Blackjack Switch®, in which each player plays two hands with the option of switching cards between the hands.  After receiving positive feedback on the game, Blackjack Switch® was added to Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel, which shares the same parent company as the Four Queens.  Similarly, if these new games do well, gamblers should expect to eventually see them offered at Binion's.


Progressive Fortune Pai Gow Poker® and World Championship Three Card Poker® are Shuffle Master Proprietary Table Games.  California Draw Poker™ is owned by Elite Gaming and distributed by Las Vegas Gaming Inc.  Blackjack Switch® is a proprietary table game owned by Customized Casino Games LTD.
