WaSioux Table

—Seven Generations Inc.
The Pueblo of Santa Ana’s Santa Ana Star Casino, in New Mexico has debuted WaSioux, a revolutionary electronic table game based on the popular poker game five-card stud. WaSioux is an electronic, six-player table game with video displays in place of cards. It allows all hands of cards to be visible, and brings fun and sociability to the game of poker. The electronic display also relieves players of handling cards and supports all skill levels.

WaSioux is played with six players and a dealer.  Players can bet and win in two ways by playing against the dealer and other players.  Participants make a wager against the dealer and then a wager in the “Player Pot” if they choose.  All players are dealt two cards and decide to fold or keep playing.  If a player wants to keep playing he or she places a bet.  If a player folds, the player sacrifices all wagers made in the dealer game and is eliminated from participating in the player game.  Cards are then dealt one at a time to each player and bets are placed after each card is dealt.  When five cards have been dealt the game is over.  If a player has a better hand than the dealer, he or she is paid the amount that he or she wagered in the dealer game.  The player with the highest hand wins the pot in the “Player Pot” game.  

WaSioux was invented and developed by Darrell Campbell and Lynn Dee Rapp.  Campbell is a member of the Prairie Island Indian Community.  Rapp is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and president of Seven Generations, Inc.

‘Crazy Clowns,’ and ‘So Hot’ slots

—Cadillac Jack
Two new slot titles were unveiled recently by Duluth, Ga.-based Cadillac Jack—“Crazy Clowns” and “So Hot.”

In “Crazy Clowns,” the five-reel, 15-line game comes to life with exciting carnival sounds and never-before-seen shows. “Crazy Clown’s” marquee of characters, Mo, Larry, and Jiggles the Clown perform their favorite clownish antics while Bingo the Dancing Dog jumps through fiery hoops each time a winning line is hit. “Crazy Clowns” elicits audience participation when three or more Jiggles the Clown symbols trigger a scatter pay bonus. During the scatter pay, players are prompted to select a Jiggles the Clown symbol which reveals exciting additional bonus credits.  

A unique bonus level occurs under the big top when three or more Jack-in-the-Box symbols pop open on any winning line and begin the Multiplier Bonus round. Mo the Clown saunters onto the bonus screen and leaves three clown carts full of Crazy Clown Money. One clown cart is selected to reveal a number which is then multiplied by the player’s total bet for show-stopping bonus credits.

“So Hot” provides a mix of bonusing elements to generate player anticipation and fun. Cadillac Jack’s new Multiple Win feature gives players the opportunity to win multiple combinations of pay on a winning line. Flaming sevens are wild, and two or more symbols can trigger the Multiple Win feature and generate a wining combination while substituting for other symbols on the winning line for multiple wins.

Two or more flaming Spade symbols appearing left to right ignite the Free Spin bonus round. Hot samba music begins to play as patrons play for the chance to win up to 60 free spins. During each Free Spin bonus, players can win additional free spins and all prizes are doubled.
