Everyone gets dealt seven cards and you make your best possible flush. You play against the dealer and there are sidebets . If you manage to pull a four card straight flush, it pays pretty big. I saw a guy pull a six card flush that included a four card stright flush and he won about two grand.
I think the best VP is at the Aquarius. Both the Pioneer and Riverside have SD blackjack ,starting at $5.
Harrahs has the beach, such as it is.
Dont go to Laughlin in the summer. Its twenty degrees hotter than Vegas and is unbearable. October to April. Not the summer.
Lots of interesting day trips out of Laughlin. Oatman is about forty minutes, Havasu is a bit over an hour.
Hotter than Vegas!? Is that possible? OK then, point taken there, thanks.
I had the biggest single win of my life on the high flush game at Planet Ho. First ever time winning $500 dollar chips all on like a 3 dollar bet (or whatever minimum is) with a couple bucks on the side bets. I got dealt 6 clubs with five of them ,or whatever, being a five card straight. I won $1700 and change on it. I pocketed those purples right away and gave 'em to my wife shortly after to put in the safe. I think 500's are purple anyway, I'm not that used to drinking anymore so I was buzzing pretty well after a few beers. One helluva a win and first time ever playing it, never even heard of it. Actually I think I remember the pit boss saying it was new and they were just introducing it at PH to see how it would go over.
