American Gaming Systems to widen Pay it Again distribution

American Gaming Systems plans to increase distribution of Pay it Again Poker on its video poker machines after acquiring the rights and patients to the game from designer Rocco Tarantino, a company official said.

Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

American Gaming Systems, based in Las Vegas, designs, manufactures and operates more than 7,000 machines.

Pay it Again Poker has already been submitted for regulatory approval in Nevada.

The game has five bonus payouts along with the regular ones typically found in video poker. The bonus payouts are two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house and four of a kind. As long as you're playing six to 10 credits, when you hit these hands again within the specified number of hands, your payout is much larger than the normal payout for that hand, the company said in a statement announcing the acquisition.
