3 Card Poker is two games in one, the Pair Plus game and the Ante game. These can be played together, or as individual games. 3 Card Poker is played with one standard deck of 52 cards that is shuffled before each game.
The Pair Plus game has payouts for specific hand combinations. The payouts are not dependant on the Dealer’s cards.
The Ante game has normal and bonus payouts. Normal payouts depend on the Dealer’s hand qualifying with a Queen High combination or higher, and the value of your hand and the Dealers hand.
Ante bonus payouts are paid if you have a bonus hand combination and are not dependant on the value of the Dealer’s hand.
The aim is to complete the game with the strongest hand. All payouts are dependent on the value of the hand you are holding.
Pair Plus Game
The Pair Plus game has payouts for specific hand combinations. The payouts are not dependant on the Dealer’s hand.
Example:
You bet 1 credit on the Pair Plus betting circle, and you are dealt a Flush combination. The Dealer is dealt a Straight Flush. A Straight Flush is stronger than a Flush, but the Pair Plus payouts are not dependant on the Dealer’s hand. Therefore, you are paid out at odds of 4:1.
Note:
To qualify for the Pair Plus payouts you must place a Pair Plus bet on the table.
The Pair Plus bet and payout is lost if you Fold, regardless of the value of your hand.
