I find new table games in Las Vegas with every annual survey. In most cases, these games are in the testing phase. Many do not make it past the trial, and they disappear before I round up the next year’s data.
This is a list of all the table games I’ve discovered in Las Vegas for the 2020 survey that, in most cases, have never been recorded before in the market.
All the new table games below have a minimum bet of $5 except one. Wild 5 Poker has a $3 minimum bet at Aliante and Cannery and a $5 minimum at Sam’s Town and Suncoast.
3 Card Blitz is a game at Sahara on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. It involves the player getting dealt seven cards and playing up to three. The goal is to play up to three suited cards that make a higher point total than the dealer. The best hand is 31.
Out in the wasteland, the game of choice is Caravan. Created by caravan guards using whatever cards they could find lying around, this is a one-on-one card game played with a cobbled together deck of loose playing cards. Caravan is not played in casinos, but is very popular among caravan guards and other frequent travelers on the Long 15. This is a card game for those who like side bets, as it allows you to play with up to three hands, each one having the option of an additional bet that can lead to the Super 7 bonus.

Criss Cross Poker
Criss Cross Poker launched at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. It disappeared from the market for a few years but has since resurfaced at Linq. It is a popular game on the East Coast.

Heart Attack is a new game at Palms just west of the Las Vegas Strip. The player bets that the three dealt cards may be played on the dealer’s cards. The dealer and player receive three cards. One dealer card is exposed. If the player can match the value or suit of the card with one of the three, it is played.
Hearts are wild. If a dealer’s card is a heart, the player may choose any card from the hand to play. If the player has a heart, it can play on any dealer card. The player wins by running out of cards.
Jackpot Hold’em

To offset this, the player may only raise three times before the flop.
