Description
Three Card Poker is a casino table game played against the dealer using a standard 52-card deck. Players aim to make the best three-card hand, with rankings similar to traditional poker but adjusted for three cards (e.g., straight beats flush).Players place an ante bet and optionally a pair plus side bet. After receiving cards, they can either fold or place an additional play bet to compete with the dealer. The dealer qualifies with a Queen-high or better; otherwise, ante bets pay even money. Bonus payouts may apply for strong hands like straights or three-of-a-kind. It's a mix of strategy and luck.
