They continued to grow and expand especially in their technology part of the company and this has led to them becoming a major player more so in the signage and lighting aspect of their operation
Mikohn Gaming Unique GamesOne of the major achievements was for them to secure the exclusive rights to distribute the Caribbean Stud poker game which proved to be very popular in land based casinos looking to expand on the often limited card and table game offerings.
Mikohn decided, in the late 1990's that they should further develop many new casino games based on their agreement with Hasbro, and this led to them releasing a new table game table game, that offered players to win, a generous (well it was at this time) 125 times a bet by getting a match of symbols such as the railroad, utility, house or hotel property, which was displayed by way of cards dealt from a deck of 50 cards.
The other cards often found on this popular game are the Community Chest and Chance cards, and true to form they decided to use these cards as the wild cards, the other cards symbolizes the player identifying game pieces such as the iron, car and hat and it was these cards that gave the player a no-lose pass but only when the card matched the player's betting spot.
This was an exciting game to play with an added twist and Players could choose to take the extra side bet which would cost one dollar and gave them the chance of a progressive jackpot win. This game was put out to players in such casinos as the Circus Circus in Las Vegas which was required as part of the approval process in Nevada.
