Las Vegas Instant Play 3 Card Poker Rules
3 Card Poker is a fast and fun poker-style game that requires very little strategy for a player to be successful. The low house edge of approximately 2.5% makes it an enticing addition to the casino. Beat the dealer by making the best poker hand possible with one draw of three cards. 3 Card Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck. The cards are distributed in hands of three, with cards shuffled after each hand. Straights have a higher ranking than a flush, as there are fewer ways to make a three-card straight. Aces can be either high or low. There are two bets a player can make that will influence the game payout : Ante and Pair Plus. The ante works as it does in conventional poker. This is the cost of playing the hand. The Pair Plus bet is an additional wager that the player will get at least a pair or higher. Payout levels are listed in the table below. It is not necessary to make both bets, but players must make at least one. The player antes by placing his/her bet in the Ante spot on the table within acceptable table betting limits. The player can also choose to place an additional bet in the Pair Plus spot on the table if the player believes that their his/her hand will contain a pair or better. Once the player has placed his/her bet(s) the player must click the Deal button to begin the hand. To clear all bets from the table, the player can click the Pull Bets button to remove his/her bets from the table. The player is dealt three cards face up and the dealer is dealt three cards face down. The player can click the Play button if he thinks his/her cards are good enough to bet against the dealer's hand. By clicking the Play button a wager equal to the ante bet will be placed on the Play spot on the table. If the player clicks the Fold button, his/her ante will be forfeited. If the player folds, he/she simply loses the ante. If the player wins the hand, the hand pays both the Ante and the Pair Plus wager (if applicable). On subsequent hands, the player can choose the Rebet button to bet the amount from the previous hand. Note - the dealer must have at least a Queen High to qualify. Anything lower is an automatic win for the player providing the player has not folded. When calculating a win or loss, there are three things to consider : Pair Plus result, Ante result, and the Play result (did the dealer qualify). To access the Sound, Animation, Graphics and Help options, click on the Options button, located in the lower left corner of the game window.
