Three Card Poker is a highly popular card game played at mobile casinos in South Africa. It is known for its straightforward yet stimulating game play. The game follows the standard rules of poker, where each player's objective is to beat the dealer's hand with the strongest combination. In Three Card Poker, players are dealt three cards instead of the five cards typically seen in other poker games.
In the game, each player is dealt three cards face down, while the dealer also gets three cards face down. On viewing their cards, players then decide whether they want to raise their bet or fold their cards. The raising of bets is done in increments and can be done up to three times the ante bet.
Three Card Poker makes use of the standard rankings of poker hands. Players must create the strongest hands out of the three cards in their hand. The best hand in the game is a three-card straight flush, followed by three of a kind and then a straight. A full house or flush also stands as a winning hand. The hand rankings are as follows, from best to worst: three-of-a-kind, straight, flush, pair, and high card.
