THREE CARD POKER

Quicker way to play, better chances to win!
Three Card Poker is a much easier poker game that has become
trendy in casinos around the world for its quicker way to play and an
extra chance to win. To win the game you need to beat the Dealer,
with a better hand, a pair or better, or a combination of the two.


Hand ranking

The hand ranking in this game is different from the standard Poker.
The differences are as follows:

  • Straight beats a Flush
  • Three of a Kind beats a Straight

Three Card Poker rankings from highest to lowest
If a hand doesn’t hold a Pair or better, the hand with the highestranking
card or cards, wins. The Ace is the highest ranking card,
except in a 3-2-Ace sequence.

HOW TO PLAY

 

Three Card Poker is similar to the traditional version. You play with
52 cards, but with only three cards you can play two separate games
in one, ‘Ante and Play’ or ‘Pairs Plus’. Choosing from both or either
at a time, your objective in this game is to beat the Dealer’s hand.

Before any cards are dealt, you can decide whether to place an
‘Ante’ or ‘Pair Plus’ bet or both.

‘Pair Plus’ is an optional Bet. The Player wins, according to the
payout table and regardless of a Dealer’s hand, if his/her hand
shows a pair or better.

‘Ante Bonus’ is paid on all Straights or better, regardless of the
Dealer’s hand.

LET'S GET IT STARTED!

Once you’ve placed your Bet(s), the Dealer will deal each Player
three cards, faced down in front of them. W hen all the cards have
been dealt, you can have a look at them and then decide whether
you want to play or fold.

If you feel you will beat the Dealer’s hand then you can continue
to play by placing another Bet on ‘Play’ that is equal to your first
‘Ante’ Bet. But if you don’t think you will win, or you don’t have a
pair, you can fold and the Dealer will collect your ‘Ante’ and/or
‘Pair Plus’ Bets.

To qualify the Dealer must have a hand of at least Queen-high;
otherwise all the ‘Ante’ bets are paid. ‘Ante Bonus’ and ‘Pair Plus’
Bets are paid if you have a Straight or higher.

If the Dealer’s hand is better than your hand, all your Bets ‘Ante’ and
‘Play’, will be collected. H owever, ‘Ante Bonus’ and ‘Pair Plus’ Bets
will be paid at the odds listed in the following table.

If the Dealer qualifies and your hand beats theirs all your ‘Ante’
and ‘Play’ Bets will be paid at even money. ‘Ante Bonus’ and ‘Pair
Plus’ Bets will be paid at the odds listed in the following table.
