How to Play Three Card Poker
To start playing Three Card Poker, the player must first place the Ante bet. After the bets are placed, the dealer deals the player and themselves three cards each. The player then has the option to fold or stay in the game. If they fold, the player forfeits their Ante bet, and the dealer takes both the Ante and the Pair Plus bets. If the player decides to stay in the game, they must place a Play bet that is the same size as the Ante bet.
After the Play bet is placed, the dealer reveals their cards. To qualify, the dealer must have a Queen or higher in their hand. If the dealer does not qualify, the player wins even money on their Ante bet and their Play bet is returned. If the dealer qualifies, the player's hand is compared to the dealer's hand.
If the player's hand is higher than the dealer's, the player wins even money on their Ante bet and the Play bet is paid out according to a pay table. If the dealer's hand is higher than the player's, the player loses both the Ante and Play bets. If the hands are equal, the result is a push, and the player's bets are returned.
