M Resort dealers learn the ins and outs of High Card Flush.

It’s not every day that we introduce a new table game to our casino floor. After all, there’s a lot that goes into bringing a new game to the floor. Beyond the gaming approvals, our table games team carefully reviews the mix of games we offer and determines what games will be the best fit for our floor and mainly for you, our guests. Once those details are finalized, we do a lot of work behind-the-scenes from all our marketing to support the new game to educating and training our dealers on the game.

So, when we say that we’re excited to bring you High Card Flush, we mean it. Today is the first day the game is available on our casino floor. It’s located on the west side of the casino, near Marinelli’s. The best thing about the game….it’s fast-paced and easy to play! You don’t need to be a poker player or even have poker knowledge to play.

Instead, as the name suggests, the objective of the game is to get as many cards within the same suit. You can bet up to three times your wager and up to two side wagers with two pay tables from which to choose.

If we’ve piqued your interest (which hopefully we have!), or if you’re just looking for a different game to try, bet High Card Flush.

Double Action Roulette™ is changing the way roulette is played. One spin on the double wheel delivers two winning numbers, offering twice the action of its traditional counterpart. As far as appearance is concerned, it looks very similar to a roulette wheel, but has an additional spinning wheel on the outer edge, which turns the opposite direction of the main ring. The table has two identical betting areas, one for each of the two sets of numbers on the wheels. There is also a special side bet that pays out 1200–1 when the two winning numbers are the same.

The game itself was developed and patented by one of our own Team Members, Richar Fitoussi, Vice President of International Marketing at M Resort. Richar came up with the concept for Double Action Roulette™ back in 1993 when he was a roulette dealer. “I would often deal to high rollers that always wanted to play two wheels at the same time. They were jumping back and forth between roulette tables. I saw the need for a game that would cater to their desire to play two games at once,” Fitoussi shared.

It’s no easy process to turn a gaming concept into a reality. Fitoussi tried for many years to get Double Action Roulette™ onto the casino floor. “First, I worked on many different designs. When I had it just right, I brought it to the gaming convention here in Las Vegas. There was a lot of interest, but it took about four years to get Double Action Roulette™ patented. There was a lot of trial and error to find the right company to manufacture and represent the game, but luckily I had the opportunity to meet Roger Hawkins, the CEO at TCSJOHNHUXLEY. He really put a lot of effort and interest in getting the game on the market.”

After the game was manufactured, the next step was placing it in a casino. “I came to Anthony Marnell III here at the M. He was incredibly supportive and offered me the opportunity to premier Double Action Roulette™ at M Resort. I look forward to seeing the success of the game at M and in Las Vegas!”

Double Action Roulette™ is Richar’s first foray into the gaming design realm. Other than his own creation, his personal favorite game to play is traditional roulette.
