Three Card Poker
Three Card Poker
Three Card Poker is fast becoming one of the most popular casino table games. It is a lot of fun, and easy to play, which contributes to much of its popularity. You are not playing against other players; it is just you against the dealer. Playing with others can be great fun because you all have the same agenda-to beat the dealer! Three Card Poker is less intimidating to play than other casino table games, and is great for first time card table players.
Three Card Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck, and it is actually two games in one. Directly in front of each player are three circles. The top circle is for Pairs Plus, and the middle and bottom circles are for the Ante and Play respectively. On the Ante bet the player is betting against the dealer for the highest card. Pairs Plus is the bet that the player will get a pair or better, such as three of a kind. In some casinos, the Ante bet must be made in addition to the Pairs Plus bet at the required table minimum. The game starts with the player making a bet on Ante and/or Pairs Plus. After all the players (a limit of six) have made their bets, the dealer starts at his or her left in a clockward motion and gives each player a three card hand, which is dealt either by hand or by a card-shuffling machine. The players then evaluate their hand and decide to hold or to play, if playing, bets would need to be placed on Play and Anty, or Play, Ante, and Pairs Plus. The dealer then turns over his or her hand, and starting at the left of the table, he dealer compares his hand to those of the players. Payout will be made for the highest card, pair, three of a kind, flush, straight, or royal flush. A pair always wins if Pairs Plus or Ante has been played; it always beats the dealer. Payouts vary from casino to casino and are posted at the tables.
The player must have a strategy to win at Three Card Poker in order to beat the dealer and lose as little money as possible. The play should only be made if the player has a queen or better on at least one card, and should have greater than a four and a six on the other two cards. If the player chooses to play with a lower hand, the odds are greater that he will lose against the dealer. If the player folds, he has lost his Play, Ante, and/or Pairs Plus bets. The player's bet is then removed from the table with the three cards for that play, and the dealer then goes on to the next player to complete the cycle.
Persons of all skill levels can play three Card Poker; its simplicity makes it so fun to play, and the more the players the better. This table game will continue to gain popularity as the number of casinos offering table games increases across the country. Next time you and your family or friends are visiting a casino, take the plunge and have the time of your life!
