Who Makes It

A licensed proprietary game, which is why it turns up in clusters.

Criss Cross Poker is a proprietary table game distributed by AGS (PlayAGS), developed by Ron LaDuca and In Bet Gaming. It is a physical table game dealt with a single 52-card deck, not a slot machine and not video poker, although some casinos also run it on electronic table terminals.

Because it is a proprietary game, a casino has to license it. That is why it appears in clusters rather than everywhere, and why the list of properties changes from year to year.

How Criss Cross Poker began

The honest caveat. Casino floors change constantly. Any published list of properties, including this one, starts going out of date the moment it is written. Always confirm before you make a trip for a specific game.

Las Vegas

Where it has actually been seen on the floor.

Criss Cross Poker has been reported on Las Vegas floors, with The LINQ and Binion's among the properties named by players and by AGS's own table-games marketing. Downtown and the mid-Strip properties tend to carry more of the newer proprietary games than the high-end resorts do, because the minimums are lower and the floor turns over faster.

Table minimums vary by property, by day of the week and by time of day, so a figure quoted online is close to meaningless by the time you read it. Ask the pit, or check the digital sign on the table itself.

Elsewhere in the US

Approved rules are the most reliable public signal.

The game has been formally approved by state regulators in several jurisdictions: Washington and Maryland both publish its rules as an approved table game, which is a reliable signal that licensed properties in those states may spread it. Tribal and commercial casinos in the Midwest, including Minnesota, and Hard Rock properties have also been named by players.

Why there is no property list here

We deliberately do not publish a property-by-property list with table limits, because we cannot verify it and a wrong list is worse than no list.

How to Actually Find a Table

Four checks, cheapest and fastest first.

  1. Check the AGS game directory

    AGS publishes its table-game catalogue, which confirms the game is still in active distribution.

  2. Search the casino's own table games page

    Most properties list their table games by name. Search the page for “Criss Cross”.

  3. Phone the casino and ask the pit

    The fastest and most reliable method by a wide margin. Ask whether it is spread every day or only on busy nights, and what the minimum is.

  4. Ask in a local players' forum

    Regulars know which pits carry which proprietary games and when they were last seen.
