But if a game's going to have such a quirky rule then why not squeeze all the juice you can out of it? Has the wheel ever been used as a sweetener in a side bet (with/without joker, steel etc)? I don't see it in the ones listed at Woo so I suppose not. Not surprisingly it simply won outright as a straight in back, but it got me wondering. I got dealt a wheel while practicing on the play-for-free game here.
But I'm a rules junkie, the type of person who reads game rules as a form of relaxation (and hit a mother load at the Wizard sites).
Heh, I suppose it wouldn't even if I spent a lifetime dealing Pai Gow in a casino.
