XVP - 3X Raise Hold'Em

#1

In one of our local papers, John Brokopp, writes about a new table
game, 3X Raise Hold'Em. What most intrigued me was his statement that
Michael Shackleford (Wizard of Odds)has calculated the house edge on
the basic game at only 0.738! However, he cautions that the optional
side bets have a steep house advantage.

Does anyone know anything about this new game? Or where it can found?
Has anyone actually played it?

The article mentions only one casino in the Midwest that has the game.
The Four Winds Casino, in New Buffalo, MI. Is this game availble in LV
or Reno?

On his website The Wiz identifies The Mirage and Bellagio. The
strategy for this is almost as easy as bac.

Anyone know if this is still being offered at The Mirage of Bellago?

With the huge house edge on side bets, I suspect casinos will rate play
at these games with a very high net theo. That mixed with the easy
strategy and low element of risk couid make this a decent play for comp
hunters. (i.e. the higher net theo rating could be worth more than the
amount of house advantage the player gives up from playing this over
BJ.)

With these two properties only offering decent vp in higher demons,
this game could be a good way to get some comps/offers from them.
