Three Card Poker
has several names: Tri-card at RTG casinos like Cirrus.
Poker Three at Playtech casinos like Golden
Palace Poker. And Three card poker at Casino
Euro and Music
Hall. Despite the name differences, the game
is still the same. It is easy, fun and exciting! The game of
three card poker is played with a standard deck of cards that is reshuffled
after each hand has been played.
This is an interesting game as the players are all competing against the dealer only and not against one another. Each player and the dealer are given three cards. A player must make their best hand from just these three cards. Three card poker is actually two different games mixed into one. This is because the player can bet on both the Pair Plus Bet and the Ante Bet, or just one of these. Players usually bet on both.
Pair Plus Bet: In this game, there are payouts fer certain hand combinations:
| Hand |
Payout |
| Straight
Flush |
40
to 1 |
| Three
of a Kind |
30
to 1 |
| Straight |
6
to 1 |
| Flush |
4
to 1 |
| Pair |
1
to 1 |
Ante Bet: In this game, a player can receive both normal and bonus payouts. The normal payouts depend on the if the dealer qualifies. In order fer the dealer to qualify, they must have at least a queen high. If this occurs and the player stays in without folding, then the best hand between the dealer and the player wins 1 to 1. If the player stays but does not have a bonus hand combination and the dealer does not qualify by having at least a queen high, then the ante bet is considered a push. However, If the player does have a bonus hand combination they will be paid regardless if the dealer has a qualifying hand or not.
Captains Tip: Only raise if ye have a Queen/6/4 hand or better. Always fold if yer hand is worse than that. Go Play!
