How to Play Three Card Poker


Do you want to play three card poker? Three card poker is a poker-based game which can be played in casinos or at online gambling sites. Statistically, it is said that people play three card poker the most because it is dubbed as the most famous proprietary table game when you measure it by wins generated for land-based casinos.

To play three card poker you have two modes of play. There is what is called the ANTE wager and the PLAY wager. Both wagers are made in competition on the player’s hand versus the dealers cards. There is another type of wager called the PAIR PLUS wager, which is paid on a payment mode basis that contain a pair or – even better – 3 cards of the same value. Some land-based and online casinos offer Ante and Pair Plus as an optional wager, while some establishments deem Ante wager as a compulsory/mandatory wager.

Before you start playing three card poker, the gamers will have to make an Ante and Pair Plus wager. The dealer will then give each player 3 cards to play three card poker. If a player chooses an Ante wager, he can then have a choice to fold the game or continue playing. If the player continues to play three card poker, he must give a Play wager which has equal value to the Ante wager.

Three card poker game continues with the hands being exposed and the wagers being awarded to the person with the best hand. For the dealer, his hand should be a queen or better so that he can have a hand to play. In this part of the game, if the dealer does not continue to play three card poker, then there is no action on Play wagers. The Ante wagers will then be given a 1:1 payout.

If the dealer continues to play three card poker, then the dealer and the player have to compare both hands. If the player’s hand is defeated, then the people who are betting will lose both the Ante and Play wagers. On the other hand, if the player wins, then people who bet on the Ante and Play wagers win 1 is to 1. A tie, meaning both dealer and player have the same value of cards, then there is no action on the both wager (Ante and Play).

A bonus is given and it is called the Ante Bonus. This is given to people who bet on the Ante wager and the hand that appears is straight or better.
