THREE CARD POKER

Hand Rankings

The ranking of hands differ from traditional poker: Straight Flush, Three-of-a-Kind, Straight, Flush, Pair, and High Card. Please note that the Ace is high except in the three-card sequence of 3-2-Ace.

Playing the Game

You must play both the “Ante” and “Pair Plus” wagers. The “Ante” wager lets you play against the dealer’s hand. The “Pair Plus” wager lets you bet against your own hand. With “Pair Plus,” if your hand contains a pair, or better you win regardless of the dealer’s hand!

Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer are dealt three cards, face down. After examining the cards, you may place a “Play” wager equal to the “Ante” amount to contine play or you may fold, losing your “Ante” and “Pair Plus” wagers.

When all bets or folds are complete, the dealer will show and arrange cards from highest to lowest, playing only with a Queen high card or better.

Pays

You win even money on the “Play” wager and at least even money on the “Ante” wager when your three-card hand beats the dealer’s qualifying hand of Queen-high or better. You lose the “Play” wagers when the dealer’s qualifying hand beats your hand. All ties are a “push.” If the dealer does not qualify, your “Ante” wins even money or better* and your “Play” wager receives no action. Your “Pair Plus” wager pays even money or better if you have a pair or better, regardless of the dealer's hand.
