Play Free Casino Tabel Game / 3 Card Poker

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.

Important:
Malfunctions void all plays and pays.

Example:

1. 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.

4. If you have a bonus hand combination the winnings are paid out according to the Pair Plus Payout Schedule.

   Note:

• If you are playing a Pair Plus game and do not have a bonus hand combination, you lose your Pair Plus bet.
• If you are playing a Pair Plus game and an Ante game together, and you do not have a bonus hand combination, and your hand is higher than the Dealer’s, you are paid out according the normal Payout Schedule.

2. You ante 2 credits and are dealt a Flush. You play, betting another 2 credits. The Dealer is dealt a Pair combination, so your hand wins. You are paid double your Play bet, 2 x 2 = 4 credits, and double your ante, 2 x 2 = 4 credits. Therefore, you are paid 8 credits.
