In our review of IGT’s “Ultimate 4 of a Kind Bonus Poker” in the “New Game Review” section of our August issue, we incorrectly stated the process by which a bonus is added to four-of-a-kind hands as involving matching cards.

With a six-coin wager, Ultimate 4 of a Kind Bonus Poker awards bonuses to four-of-a-kind hands as follows:

When a player lands four of a kind, the screen displays a face-down, 52-card deck plus a Joker. The player gets one pick of a card with four 5s through Kings; two picks for four 2s, 3s or 4s; or three picks for four Aces. If the quad hand is dealt, the player gets a bonus pick. When picks are made, any card valued at 5 through King lands a $50 bonus; a 2, 3 or 4 pays a $75 bonus; an Ace pays a $100 bonus. If the Joker is picked in the bonus round, it pays $999. The bonus payments are accumulated and added to the normal jackpot for the four-of-a-kind hand.

In the September edition, an article entitled “The Radio Chip” reported that a vast majority of RFID inlays in chips manufactured by Gaming Partners International and sold to Wynn Las Vegas in 2005 were defective. Global Gaming Business has learned that no such issue ever existed with any of the RFID chips at Wynn Las Vegas. We could not independently verify the issue prior to publication, and should not have published an un-sourced report such as this. Global Gaming Business strives to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information for the gaming industry, and therefore apologizes for the error and regrets any harm the inaccuracy may have caused to Gaming Partners International.
