3 Card Poker

Three Card Poker is a stud poker game that offers three ways to play and four different ways to win! Each player receives three cards and tries to get a winning poker hand. 

Players may bet against the dealer, or bet on the value of their own hand, or bet both.   

Bets

To play against the dealer, the player places an ANTE wager. After looking at their three-card hand the player may fold, or if they think their hand is high enough to beat the dealer, they place an equal wager on the PLAY spot. If the player’s hand beats the dealer’s qualifying hand of a Queen-high or better, they are paid even money on both wagers. If the dealer does not qualify, the player wins the ANTE wager, and the PLAY wager is a push. 

In addition, a player who bet the ANTE and receives a straight or better will receive an “Ante Bonus” based on their three-card hand – even if the dealer’s hand was higher! 

The player may also wager on the PAIR PLUS bonus. This wager does not play against the dealer’s hand and wins if the player’s three-card hand contains a pair or better. 

Because this game uses only a three-card hand, poker rankings are slightly different than normal. Consult the posted pay table or ask one of our friendly dealers for more information and rules of play!
