Luxor has it now. 1 on 10, 1 on 20.

And they only pay a miserable $20 for quads!

They have increased the max buyin to $100, but this remains the crappiest game in town, with their stupid 1:1:2 blinds.

This is so very wrong.

The 1:1:2 game is a friggin' goldmine (for low limit NL). The "jackpot" drop is really a way of "paying" the regulars to prop the games by taking a drop for the "jackpot," then giving most of this back to players who put in XX hours per week at the tables. The regulars who show up for their weekly "Welfare Check" are generally amongst the worst "regulars" anywhere (other than Red Rock), and the tourists who play at Luxor set a new standard for stupidity.

Last I checked, promotional money was worth about $12/hour for playing 20 hours a week, which is pretty good and keeps the exceedingly predictable locals showing up to mix it up with the truly awful visitors.
