Three Card Poker is a simple game consisting of 3 cards which are dealt and paid out according to their respective value. Unlike other poker games, the dealer’s hand is not involved in the action.
After viewing your three cards you can either fold or raise. If you raise you then go to the dealer’s hand. The dealer then needs to have at least a queen high to qualify.
If the dealer does not qualify, Ante wins 1 to 1, and the play bet is returned.
If the dealer qualifies, and the player beats the dealer, both the play and ante win 1 to 1.
If the dealer qualifies, and the dealer beats the player, both Play and ante lose.
If the dealer qualifies, and the dealer ties the player, both Play and ante push.
Due to the three card limitation of the game, a Three of a Kind is the highest hand you can get.
