Harrah's Table Payouts slowly inceasing house odds?

Was playing 3 Card Poker at Harrah's Resort Southern California (I still prefer Harrah's Rincon) and the dealer let something slip, by accident I think as the pit boss gave him a dirty look.

A player hit a full house with the 6 card bonus and started to pay 25:1, then went 'whoops, that got changed, let me check" and then pull the card from the table to verify it was 20:1. That's when the pit boss make a quick move to see what was happening. The dealer continued to joke about getting in trouble for that one. The pit boss didn't seem to happy he was kind of making a big deal about the change.

With all the Vegas chatter of several Blackjack tables paying 6:5 on a Blackjack, makes me wonder if they are slowly sneaking some other revised payouts on other table games, especially on obscure payouts that might not happen very often.

I did see a 6 card straight (not my hand unfortunately) where both hands were crap and the dealer didn't qualify. One of things I love about the 6 card bonus.

Anyway - thoughts? Observations?

Thanks for the information. At craps different casinos have different payouts on the field, horn and hardways and whether or not the commission on the 4 and 10 buy bets are paid in advance. Look out for those, too.

The last time I was at Rincon which was years ago, the 3 Card Poker base game paid out 3 to 1 for a Flush for the Pair Plus bet. San Manuel, Morongo, and Pechanga all pay 4 to 1 for a Flush. Most other places pay 3 to 1. It is a BIG difference, a house edge of around 5%.

I remember getting a full house out of the 6 card million dollar bonus. I got paid $100 (20 to 1) for the minimum $5 side bet.

That is all in the past, I do not play much table games any more.

The 6/3/1 is more common on the west coast for the Pair Plus bet.

I avoid Three Card Poker unless it is at Morongo, Pechanga, or San Manuel. They pay 4 for 1 on a Flush. I remember from long time ago Pala paid 3 for 1 on a Flush.

I don't ever play the PP or any other side bet. In fact, I only play with certain dealers to ensure I'm playing with an advantage.
