Gold Coast in Las Vegas debuts two new casino games
22 Oct 2020
A rush of excitement filled the air as glittering lights danced to the ringing of the slot machine’s harmonious bells. Music and laughter lightly weaved its way through the casino pits, carrying sounds of joy as jackpots flooded the floor.
The low hum of chatter made the joint feel alive as it buzzed with activity. Two red statuesque figurines strolled into view emerging from the crowd as their feather-capped hats, sparkling jewels and stunning smiles lit up the room, just one more Las Vegas-style attraction that added to the carnival-like atmosphere on the gaming floor.
If variety is the spice of life then casino games have become a bit bland lately. “Same ol’, same ol’” is not a fun routine to fall into.
However fortune favors the bold as Lady Luck stepped in and saved players from the mundane. Two new games popped into existence giving players double the pleasure, double the adventure. Muggsy’s Corner and 2G’$ graced us with their presence at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino near the Las Vegas Strip on 9 October 2020. Showgirls were at the games handing out free shirts and hats as curious guests tried two of the newest games there.
Muggsy’s Corner will transport you back-in-time to the roaring twenties with this bee’s knees style of entertainment. This brand new bet adds another flavor of excitement to this classic game of craps where players have two chances to win. If a 7 is hit on the come-out roll then the Muggsy’s Corner bet wins and the players are paid 2-to-1.
If a 4-5-6-8-9-10 is hit and the very next roll is a 7, the Muggsy’s Corner bet wins and the players are paid 3-to-1. This straightforward bet is effortless for new players to learn and has a house edge of 5.5%, which is the similar to the field bet.
2G’$ has added a breathtaking new twist to the conventional single or double zero wheel by combining the thrill of a jackpot with the nostalgia of your favorite roulette game. 2G’$ provides players with the highest roulette payout ever. Players are paid 350-to-1 if two green zeros hit back-to-back. It doesn’t need to match, any two green zeros count.
Players place their wager on the 2G’$ betting area as the dealer spins the ball. When the first green zero or double zero hits, all 2G’$ bets will be locked into place, creating a buzz of excitement from players as they wait with bated breath to see what comes next. As the fated green number hits for a second time in a row, players enthusiastically win 350-to-1. 2G’$ low house edge of 2.77%, plus its high payout, makes this an advantageous wager.
Life awaits and the crowd gathers at our newest attractions. Both Muggsy’s Corner and 2G’$ are now available to play right now at the Gold Coast Casino. But whether it’s hedging a bet on craps as the dice fly through the air, or winning stacks of chips on a roulette jackpot, the call of the casino can be hypnotic regardless.
With the sounds of cards shuffling, colorful lights that fill the skies, the ray of hope that flashes across the player’s face as they place their bet for the first time, one can tell.
There’s gambling in the air and tis’ the season to shine.
