COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Poker players were raking it in at the Columbus casino, thanks to incorrect rules that tipped the odds in their favor at a popular table game.
But the advantage for players of Crazy 4 Poker at Hollywood Casino Columbus didn't last long. The casino shut down the game after discovering the mistake, reopening it last week with the correct rules.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that the problem was with the game's "super bonus bet" requirement. Players are required to put down a "super bonus bet" that is equal to their ante. The table wasn't requiring that bet, tipping the odds in favor of the players.
A spokesman declined to say when the casino started offering the game or when it was shut down after the problem was detected.
