SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Light & Wonder has debuted Mini Ultimate Texas Hold’Em™ at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, marking the first casino launch worldwide for the new fast-paced poker game.
The latest addition to Light & Wonder’s live table games portfolio puts a streamlined twist on the poker classic. Played with a standard 52-card deck, Mini Ultimate Texas Hold’Em retains the strategy of the original in a quicker format, with players building their best three-card poker hand using one player card and community cards.
The game also offers additional wagering opportunities through the Flush Plus Side Bet, 3 Card Bonus Side Bet and Progressive, adding more ways to play.
“Talking Stick Resort has been a valued Light & Wonder customer, and we’re proud to have them be the first property in the world to bring Mini Ultimate Texas Hold’Em to players,” said Jon Hanlin, President of Global Tables at Light & Wonder. “The property has built a strong table games offering, making it an ideal location to debut this latest addition to our portfolio.”
“At Talking Stick Resort, we continually invest in new experiences that reinforce our position as one of the premier gaming destinations in the Southwest,” said Patricia Tate, President & CEO of Talking Stick Resort. “Being selected as the world debut location for Mini Ultimate Texas Hold’Em reflects the strength of our partnership with Light & Wonder and our commitment to introducing innovative entertainment that keeps our casino floor dynamic and fun for our guests.”
