partially confirmed this glitch. As you suggested, it is clearly tied to another player being eliminated; it first happened just two hands after the first player was eliminated. It happened to me in about 40% of the remaining hands, and every time it happened was immediately after I was forced to make an opening bet. Which is really weird, since normally you're never allowed to fold at that point.
Two caveats, though. One, it only seems to happen with Texas Hold 'Em. I played all three other games extensively after that first elimination, and encountered no problems with any of them. Two, the glitch seems to change after further players are eliminated. I went back to Texas Hold 'Em once I was down to just one opponent, and after this I was never forced to fold or make an opening bet. Instead, on every single hand,
my opponent immediately folded.
Haven't seen any sign of the other two glitches yet. Will keep an eye out. It is curious that Cowboy Casino has such problematic glitches and shortcomings (e.g. no save file), while in certain areas there's an impressive attention to detail. Did you know that the game actually has a screen saver? It's nothing new, just a rolling of the credits, but a screen saver nonetheless. The only other 3DO game with a screen saver that I can think of is Gex. Yet no save file. Bizarre.
