Three Card Poker Rules
Three Card
Poker uses a one deck shoe.
If the dealer's hand does
not have a rank of Queen or higher, the dealer fails to
qualify and the game is over. The Ante
bonus and Pair
Plus bonuses are paid and your Play bet
is returned to you with double your Ante.
- You place a $25 dollar bet on the Ante and
$25 on the Pair Plus. You are dealt a straight,
choose Play, and place another $25 bet. Your
total bet is now $75.
The dealer shows his cards and fails to qualify.
Your Play bet is returned to you, along with
double your Ante bet, a total of $75.
Because you were dealt a straight, the Ante
bonus is paid at 1:1, $25 and the Pair Plus
bet is paid out at the bonus rate of 6:1, $175
including your initial outlay.
You win a total of $275 including your initial
outlay.
If the dealer's hand qualifies, it is compared
to your hand and actioned as follows:
- If the dealer's hand is higher, you lose
both your Ante and your Play bets.
- If the dealer's hand is lower, you receive
a 1:1 payout on your Ante bet and your Play
bet
- If your hand and the dealer's tie on rank,
whoever has the next highest ranking card is
the winner.
- If there is an absolute tie, you get your
Ante and Play bets returned.
Bonuses will be paid according
to the Ante bonus and Pair
Plus payout tables. The odds that your
winning hand pays out are also shown on the
table top next to the betting area.
Once the game is over, you can change your bets
or click Repeat Bet and start a new round.
