Three Card Poker (3CP) is a card game that utilizes the regular 52-card deck and consists of two distinct parts ā the Pair Plus bet and the Ante bet. In this version of the game, you compete against the dealer's hand, and before any cards are dealt, each player has to place their wager for the Ante bet. Three cards are then dealt to the player, and the dealer, each. If the player's hand beats the dealer's, the Ante bet is paid according to the established paytable. If the player has a high ranking hand, they can choose to continue playing by placing an additional wager equal to the Ante bet in the Play circle. Then, the dealer reveals their hand, and if the player's 3 card hand beats the dealer's, both the Ante and Play bets are paid according to the established paytable.
Another betting option available to every player is the Pair Plus bet. This wager does not influence the game at hand, but instead, it stands on its own. To play the Pair Plus bet, the player has to place a wager in the dedicated Pair Plus circle before the cards are dealt. If the player's 3 card hand contains at least a pair, the Pair Plus bet is paid according to the established paytable.
