1) Description and objective

Three Card Poker is a variation of the popular Stud Poker card game. The game is fast paced because you play the hand you are dealt. There is no draw in stud poker. It differs from other poker games as it is played against the house and not against other players and both player and dealer are only dealt three cards.

2) How to play

• There is a pairplus and an ante bet field. You may bet on either one, both, and in different amounts.
• The player and dealer's cards are dealt.
• If an ante bet was made, you can either fold or raise. If you press fold, you will lose both bets (pairplus and ante) and the game is over. If you press "raise", the same amount as the ante bet is used to raise.
• The pairplus bet pays according to the paytable regardless of the dealers cards.
• The dealer cards are revealed. Player and dealer cards are compared and winnings are paid.

3) Specific game rules

Three card poker is actualy two games in one. The player may bet on either one, both, and in different amounts. Both games are based on hands consisting of three cards.

The pairplus game is a very simple game in which you get three cards and are paid according to their value. The dealer's card do not matter. There is no raising or folding, in fact no skill of any kind is involved. Do note that if you also placed an ante bet and you chose to fold, you will also lose the pairplus bet!

The ante game begins with a wager on ante. After the player views his three cards he may either "fold" or "raise". If he folds, he loses the ante bet and the pairplus bet if one was made. The fact that you also lose the pairplus bet is not a sacrifies because if the pairplus bet pays anything, this means the player has a good hand and he should not fold. If he raises, he increases his ante bet with the original ante bet value. The dealer cards are now revealed and both hands are compared. Winnings are paid according to the table below.

4) Paytable and limits

The minimum ante bet is $0.10 and the maximum ante bet is $100. For different currencies or when playing with bonus different maxima may apply.
