new additions to 3 card poker?

I haven't been to our favorite city since May and recently heard rumblings of a new addition to the 3 card poker table game. I really like this "carny" game along with Let it Ride, I realize the player odds are terrible but as most of you know they still are very popular games. I played mostly at the Palazzo and Encore and at that time, no new additions.

Those of you that recently returned, notice any changes ? If so where?

I'll be leaving for LV on 11/13 and like 3 card poker. I'd be most interested in any changes.

I found out on another board from a poster that went to Vegas last month. He noted there was two new additions. The first one is the 3 card Progressive. A $1 bonus bet (similar to let it ride) . Progressive is hit when an AKQ of spades is dealt. He didn't know how much was the progressive. Seems like a big time sucker bet, but I don't know for sure. He said he seen this at the Venetian, Harrahs, and O'Sheas.

The other one he seen was the 3 card poker - 6 card bonus. An additional bet (not sure if it's $5 or the table min).
3 cards are combined with the dealer's 3 cards to form a 5 card poker hand. He said the payoffs are pretty good.
( 1000 - 1 Royal Flush, 200 - 1 straight flush, 50 - 1 four of a kind, 25 - 1 full house, 10 - 1 flush, 5 -1 straight)

If his observations were correct, I think the second one with the 6 card bonus feature would be fun. Alot of times I would get these crappy hands like 8 7 5 that would be normally thrown away for a loss, but these hands would / could have the potential to be a winner if combined with the dealer's hand... say, it was Q 6 9 which would make a straight that would pay 5 to 1.

So Wishing in FL, when you are there next week, check them out and let us know what you think.
Good Luck and have a blast!
