Featuring a variety of poker derivatives available both as live games as well as electronically on its multiple content delivery systems, Shuffle Master’s ICE exhibit will highlight the following new games:

Three Card Poker Progressive, which takes the excitement of the industry’s most popular specialty table game to a new level with a new progressive jackpot feature. Players simply make the optional $1 progressive side bet that pays when they receive a three-of-a-kind or higher. The game’s top payout—100% of the progressive jackpot, is triggered when a player is dealt an Ace-King-Queen of Spades. The top two payouts also trigger “envy bonuses” where all progressive bettors win if anyone at the table receives a premium hand.

Blackjack Press is an exciting twist on blackjack that lets players play two hands and “press” the hand that they think can beat the dealer. To play, players make equal wagers on both blackjack hands and the Press bet. Players receive two cards for each hand dealt face up, and the dealer receives two cards that are dealt one face up and one face down. If the player’s initial four cards are all the same color, the Press bet loses. Otherwise, players decide where to place their Press bet—on their first blackjack hand or their second. The dealer then follows standard house rules for blackjack. If a player’s hand beats the dealer’s, their standard blackjack and Press bet wagers win. Player blackjacks always win and they always pay 1 to 1.
