Three Card Poker -
Two Games in One: The two games
are "Three Card
Ante/Play",
where you compete against the dealer, and "Pair
Plus" that has different bonus
payouts for three card poker hands of one
pair or better. When both games are played
at the same time, players may wager
different amounts on each game.
Ante and Play - Play
begins with a wager on the ante. After you
view your three cards you may either raise
by putting an equal bet on play or fold and
lose the ante bet. If you fold you also lose
the Pair Plus bet if one was made. This
should not be any sacrifice because if the
Pair Plus bet paid anything, you shouldn't
fold.
If you raise, you then go against the
dealer's hand. The dealer needs at least a
queen high to qualify. Below are the
possible outcomes and their payoff:
-
Dealer does not qualify: Ante wins 1 to
1, play bet is returned
-
Dealer qualifies and player beats
dealer: Both play and ante win 1 to 1
-
Dealer qualifies and dealer beats
player: Both Play and ante lose
-
Dealer qualifies and dealer ties
player: Both Play and ante push
In addition, the Ante bet has an extra bonus
that does not depend on the dealer's hand.
This bonus pays as follows based on the ante
bet:
