Bittman says he was intrigued by Triple Play Poker in particular. “I looked at the game and said, who did the math on this? And it was a reputable (mathematician). I said, there’s no way this doesn’t pay back to the player more than 100 percent. He said, ‘No, we did the math. The base paytable that you use doesn’t change the math at all. It’s exactly the same.’
“I couldn’t get my mind around that, so of course, we had all these mathematicians, Ph.Ds. We sent it up to them. When we ran all the simulations and checked all the math, it was like Ernie said. So we said, my God, this is a firecracker. It ups the bet. It’s a whole new dimension for the game, and the most beautiful thing about it is the base game stays the same, so people are familiar with it.”
