New Game Debuts After Swift Approval By Nevada

Last updated: 13/03/2008 16:56

FYI Gaming, a Los Angeles-based casino table game development and marketing company, have announced the launch of their flagship game brand, Ante Up 21.

 

Ante Up 21, recently approved by the Nevada Gaming Commission for play throughout the state, is scheduled to open on Thursday, February 15th, at the Sunset Station Hotel & Casino in Henderson, Nevada. Corporate parent, Station Casinos, Las Vegas, Nevada, owns Sunset Station Hotel & Casino.

 

Ante Up 21 is a first-of-its-kind, fast-paced, and easy-to-understand combination of the two most popular card games in the casino today -- standard blackjack and the exciting game of poker. Prior to playing a basic blackjack hand, players have the option to wager on the poker outcome of their completed blackjack hands by placing a bet in the "Ante" and then "Bet" portions of the game. After dealing the cards in true blackjack fashion, and paying the BJ wagers accordingly, the players' best two card poker hand is then compared with that of the dealers' best two card poker hand and the winner is then determined. Suits and straights don't play. Even if a player "busts" and loses the blackjack portion of the game, the player may use any two of their cards to determine their best, two card poker hand and still be paid a winner.

 

Inventor Michael Forster calls his Ante Up 21 the "best of both worlds," being both an experienced, but often bored, blackjack player and an enthusiastic poker aficionado as well. The idea sprouted from his continual, mental tug-of-war between playing either blackjack or poker. "With Ante Up 21, blackjack is now a thinking man's game," says Forster, "with different strategies to consider and having a heightened level of excitement and satisfaction by playing, really, two games in one."
