Rules
There are two ways to bet in Triple Card Poker. You can place a 'PAIR PLUS' bet, an 'ANTE' bet or you can place both bets at once.
Pair Plus Bet:
To place the desired 'PAIR PLUS' bet, select the desired chip denomination(s) and then click on the 'Pair Plus Bet' area until the desired bet is placed. Once the bet has been placed, click on the 'DEAL' button, at which point you will be dealt a three-card hand, face-up. The Dealer is also dealt three cards, face-down, but his hand will not be considered if only a 'PAIR PLUS' bet has been placed for this game. You win the game if you have a pair or better hand and you lose if your hand is less than a pair. All win amounts are detailed in the 'PAIR PLUS' Bet Paytable seen below.
| Pair Plus Bet Paytable - hands and payouts are in increasing order of rank | ||
|---|---|---|
| Poker hand | Win | Cards |
| Pair | 1 to 1 | Two cards of the same value. Example: J, J, A |
| Flush | 4 to 1 | Three cards of the same suit, of any value. Example: K, 6, 3 of the same suit |
| Straight | 6 to 1 | Three cards in numerical sequence, but of different suits. Example: 5, 4, 3 |
| Three of a Kind | 30 to 1 | Three cards of the same value. Example: 9, 9, 9 |
| Straight Flush | 40 to 1 | Three cards in numeric sequence, and of the same suit. Example: 10, 9, 8 of the same suit. |
Ante Bet
To place the desired 'ANTE' bet select the desired chip denomination(s) and then click on the 'Ante bet' area until the required bet is placed. Once the bet has been placed, click on the 'DEAL' button, at which point you will be dealt a three-card hand, face-up. The Dealer is also dealt three cards, face-down. Based on the strength of the cards dealt, you can choose to continue with the game, or give up, by clicking on the 'Bet' or 'Fold' buttons. Clicking 'Fold' will result in you losing your ante bet (as well as any 'Pair Plus' bet, if made) and does not reveal the dealer's cards.
The Dealer is required to have a Queen or better in order to qualify for play. If the Dealer's hand does not qualify, you are paid even money on the ante bet and the additional bet amount is returned.
If the Dealer's hand does qualify, one of the following can occur:
- If the Dealer's hand is better than yours, the house collects your 'ANTE' and 'BET' amounts.
- If your hand is better than the Dealer's hand, you are paid even money on both the 'ANTE' and the 'BET' amounts.
- If your hand and the Dealer's hand are the same, there is a tie and your 'ANTE' and 'BET' amounts will be returned to you.
An extra 'Ante Bonus' is awarded if you get a Straight or better hand. In such a case, you will be paid the specified bonus amount regardless of the dealer's cards, whether you have won or lost or if the game is a tie. The Ante Bonus is added to any Pair Plus and Hand wins. The paytable for determining the Ante Bonus has been given below:
| Ante Bonus | ||
|---|---|---|
| Poker hand | Win | Cards |
| Straight | 1 to 1 | Three cards in numerical sequence, but of different suits. Example: 5, 4, 3 |
| Three of a kind | 4 to 1 | Three cards of the same value. Example: 9, 9, 9 |
| Straight Flush | 5 to 1 | Three cards in numeric sequence, and of the same suit. Example: 10, 9, 8 of the same suit |
