Due to the gaming laws of Mississippi (and probably elsewhere since we mostly copied Nevada;s), a casino can't just drop a game like Caribbean Stud Poker without dispersing the accumulated jackpot money somehow. When the Grand dropped their CSP game a few years back after they reopened post-Katrina, they lowered the requirements to win the big jackpot to only 4 of a kind. People lined up for the seats hours and hours before the new requirements took effect. Because there were 2 jackpots (one from Gulfport Grand for 86,000 and one from Biloxi Grand for 99,000), they were going to play until the 86,000 jackpot from Gulfport was won and then reset the machine to 99,000 and play until the Biloxi jackpot was won. Then they would be finished with the game for good.

A friend of mine who runs the Blackjacktournaments.com website heard about these developments the morning after the Grand reopened. He immediately hopped in his car and went there. (he only lives 90 minutes away) Of course, there were plenty of people already ahead of him. He got in line at 7 PM and finally got a seat at 5 AM the next morning. They had raised the minimun bet to $25 so you had to be bankrolled to even play. He played 31.5 straight hours and finally just had to get some sleep. Counting the drive and waiting in line, he had been up over 45 hours. 20 minutes after he left the table (about 10 hands), his phone rang with the news that the first jackpot had just been won. He went on home and slept for 8 hours and then headed back to Biloxi. This time he got there at 9 PM and was able to get a seat at 4:30 AM. A little after 9 AM, he looked down at 2-10-2-2-2. Yeah, my friend Ken won over 100K with those four twos.

So maybe the Beau just isn't advertising it. I know all those progressives that flea mentioned are recent developments so maybe they are pushing them but not the stuff that they have had for a while.
