Sure any casino can write the stand up game into their rules. Get the changes approved by the gaming commission and implement them.
The question is why would they want to go through all that?
You are talking about a small, but not insignificant expense to write up the rules, present them, and get them approved.
What do they get out of it?
Now you are going to say that it will attract a certain segment of the poker playing population who like stuff like that.
Yes. Yes it will. However it will also turn off a larger segment of the poker playing population who do not understand it and find it an annoying distraction.
So why are the casinos going to turn off a larger portion of their player base to make a smaller segment be able to legally play these side games?
What is in it for the casino?
I think it is better leaving it like it is now. Players who want it are generally in the higher limit games in the casino and they figure out a way to make it work without the casinos help (using trust and side money).
Until you come up with a reason for casinos to do this it is not going to happen within the legal rules.
It isn't as attractive to the casinos as you think it is. It is more a pain in the behind than anything else.
