It's at Thunder Valley in Roseville, CA (NE of Sacramento). I've played it a few times.
Rule changes:
- No commission.
- Dealer A high is a push.
- Dealer of course sets their hand first.
It's fun to play because in a push hand you can set your lower hand to something stupid that just beats the dealer hand. You can't collude with other players because you're just trying to beat the dealer.
There is an A-high side bet which pays various amounts depending on your hand. A high no joker 5-1, with joker 15-1, dealer and player have A-H 40-1. Also plays with Fortune (normal pay table) + the Progressive side bets ($2 at Thurnder Valley)

This seems like definitely one of the harder games to figure out math wise. That's what I'm most interested in actually.
The second thing I'd be interested in is gameplay. Do a lot of people muck their hands, making the game faster? Does the dealer have to wait before everyone is done before starting the payout/push process?
As for gameplay, people muck their hands when they lose and they don't have a Fortune Hand which makes gameplay faster. People also muck when the dealer has A High and don't have a fortune hand and is not playing the A-High bonus.
People also set their hands faster because they simply have to make a determination of what to beat rather than think about certain plays. It doesn't stop people from slowly revealing their cards or follow whatever silly ritual (I have one too) they do in opening their cards and setting their hands.

I clicked on the web site of the game owner and got a very stern warning that it was a dangerous site. However, it showed the content for about one second before the warning came up. I managed to get a screenshot, which I am copying and pasting below. I hope the owner doesn't mind and I'm happy to remove it upon request.

Might be the next leap in 'new' gaming ideas... for the dealer to start playing their hands first. Of course I'm sure that would cause adjustments to rules/payouts to level the HE for the house, but it would give players a fresh way to play a lot of games. I like the idea.

That was tried on a poker variant at the Wynn a few years ago. It used an optical reader in the shuffler to tell the dealer how to play without the dealer knowing the cards. I take it the field trial didn't go well because I haven't seen the game since.
