How
To Play Three Card Poker
Three card poker is a very simple game. The dealer gets
three cards face down and the player gets three cards.
The aim is to get a better poker hand than the dealer. Because
there are less ways to make a three card straight they are ranked
higher than a flush in the game of 3 card poker.
You have several betting options on three card poker.
An ante bet which works the same way as a poker ante and
the Pair Plus bet which we cover below. The ante is you
initial bet. If you like your cards you can hit play and your bet
is doubled.
You do not have to bet on both the Pair Plus and the Ante
every time you play. You can choose one or the other or
if you wish play both. The Pair Plus bet is taking the gamble
that you will be dealt a pair or better.
The pay offs for the Pair Plus bet are as follows. A
pair pays 1 to 1. Flush pays 4 to 1. Straight 6
to 1. Three of a kind 30 to 1 and a Straight Flush pays the
40 to 1.
There is also a bonus offered for your ante bet if you
hit one of the following hands. A straight, three of a
kind or a straight flush.
Similar to Caribbean Stud poker the dealer must qualify
for the had to be contested. The dealer needs Queen high
to qualify. If the dealer does not have this then the player
automatically gets double their ante unless they folded. If the dealer
qualifies and you win you are paid out 4 to 1.
