Three Card Poker

Three Card Poker is a three card stud poker game with the player playing head-up against the dealer. Straight and flushes of three cards are allowed, however straights rank higher than flushes. Three of a Kind ranks higher than either.

The player must first post an ante wager. The player and the dealer are each dealt three cards. If the player likes his hand, he must post a wager equal his ante behind. Otherwise the player folds.

If the player plays, the dealer checks his hand. If the dealer does not have a poker hand higher than a Queen high, then the dealer does not qualify to play. The player wins even money on his ante and the back wager pushes.

If the dealer qualifies to play, the best poker hand wins.

If the player wins, he wins even money on his ante and back wager.

If the player and dealer have a hand of the same rank, the higher cards making up the hand ranks higher. If they are equal the next highest and so forth. If the player and dealer tie (exact same poker hand), both the ante and the back wager push.

Ante Bonus: The ante wager receives a bonus of 5:1 for a straight flush, 4:1 for three of a kind, and 1:1 for a straight. This pays regardless of whether the player wins or loses the hand.

Pair Plus: The player may also place a side wager on whether the player will receive a pair or better. This side wager is purely on the player hand and does not depend on whether the player wins or loses the hand (the player may not fold however).

The side wager pays 40 to 1 on a straight flush, 25:1 on three of a kind, 6:1 on a straight, 4:1 on a flush and 1:1 on a pair.
