If you're new to casino games or looking for a fun and easy game to play, 3-Card Poker might be just what you're looking for. This fast-paced game is a variation of traditional poker, with simplified rules and exciting payouts. At Royale Flush Gaming, we offer 3-Card Poker tables and professional dealers for events and parties.

Here's a guide to the basics of how to play 3-Card Poker:

The Goal of the Game

The goal of 3-Card Poker is to have a higher-ranking hand than the dealer. Unlike traditional poker, there are no community cards, and each player only receives three cards.

Starting the Game

To start the game, each player places an ante bet. The player and the dealer are each dealt three cards face down.

Playing Your Hand

After receiving their cards, the player can either "fold" and forfeit their ante bet or "play" by making an additional bet equal to their ante. Once all players have made their decisions, the dealer reveals their cards.

If the dealer has a queen high or better, they "qualify" to play their hand. If not, all remaining players win even money on their ante bet, and their additional bet is returned to them.

If the dealer does qualify, their hand is compared to each player's hand. The player wins if their hand is higher than the dealer's hand. If the dealer's hand is higher, the player loses both their ante and additional bet.

Hand Rankings

In 3-Card Poker, hand rankings are based on traditional poker rankings but are simplified for the game's three-card format. The highest ranking hand is a straight flush, followed by three of a kind, a straight, a flush, a pair, and high card.

Tips for Success

As with any casino game, luck plays a significant role in 3-Card Poker, but there are a few tips you can keep in mind to increase your chances of winning. Some strategies to consider include:

• Always play if you have queen-six-four or better.

• Fold if you have a lower-ranking hand than queen-six-four.

• Consider making the additional bet when you have a higher-ranking hand to increase potential payouts.
