Heads up! 3 Card Poker is two games in one, the 'Pair Plus' and the 'Ante Game'. You can play them together in a single hand or bet on each one separately.

How to Play

Bet by clicking on a chip and then clicking on Ante and/or Pair Plus.  Hit Deal to start the game.

Before the deal, you can adjust your bets by clicking on Undo (removes last bet you placed), Clear all bets (removes all chips from the table), or Double bet (doubles all of your bets on the table).
At this point, both you and the dealer are dealt 3 cards. 

Pair Plus

Regardless of the dealer's hand, you win the Pair Plus if your hand shows any pair or better.  Payout is higher the better your hand.

If you did not place any chips on Ante along with Pair Plus, the hand is over and a new round begins.

Ante game

If you think your hand can beat the dealer's, click on Play to place another bet equal to your Ante.  If you think all is lost, then you can Fold and lose your Ante without risking any more money on your bad hand.

At this point, the dealer turns over his cards and you compare hands.
The dealer must have a high card queen or better to play.

If the dealer does not play, your Ante pays double, but your Play bet is a 'push' and is returned to you with no winnings.

If the dealer plays, but your hand is better still, both Ante and Play bets pay double.

If the dealer plays, and his hand beats yours, you lose all bets.

Payouts

All payouts are written on the table itself.
Ante and Play pay 1-1.
Ante pays an additional Ante bonus for certain hands: a straight pays 1-1, a set pays 4-1, and a royal flush pays 5-1.
Pair Plus pays 1-1 for a pair, and up to 40-1 with a royal flush.
