 There is a new game that I have seen in both Vegas and Laughlin, called Tower Poker - do you think we might see this soon??  Also why is it so difficult to win big jackpots?  I do better at the Casinos than I do playing these games?  It's just more fun and inviting when you win big occassionaly. Thanks

 There is a new game that I have seen in both Vegas and Laughlin, called Tower PokerWhat kind of base games and pay schedules are you seeing with Tower Poker?

New, this an older game that came out a couple of years ago. I played it at Sams in 08, quarter denom, 9/6 DDB. interesting game but did see volatility for that extra coin to hit the "tower" jackpot.

Yes, it's been around awhile. Here's an old column about it.

Yeah, I saw the article when it came out but I never have seen the game to see how much it cost to play the 4-line version (or 5-line for Deuces Wild).It looked like unless the pay schedule was pretty high, any strategy would produce a fairly low EV.  I was just interested in whether there was some twist that allowed it to be the least bit playable.Also, Ed, the article doesn't mention a "tower" jackpot.  What is that?  A special dealt hand or something?

New, no special jackpot as I recall but the card denom changed with each winner or something like that. I blew through a Jackson in nothing flat playing 3 lines.
