Tri card poker

3 Card Poker is one of the simplest casino poker games you can play.
As you might have guessed, you use just 3 cards to make a poker hand.
You then compete against the dealer to see who has the best 3-card poker hand. Beat the dealer and you win your bet (or bets). Hit a premium hand like a Flush or Straight and get paid handsomely.
Lose to the dealer and you lose your bet(s). Simple, yeah?
How to Play 3-Card Poker
3 Card Poker uses the name “poker” because it uses the standard poker hand ranking order but it’s more of a casino game than a poker game per se.
You can alter your bets slightly to chase different premium or bonus hands but there’s no poker strategy - eg deciding which cards to keep or draw, making bets against other players - involved.
You simply choose between a couple of bets before the deal, see what 3 cards you receive and hope for the best.
There’s an important exception to the standard poker hand rankings to note, though:
Because it’s harder to make a straight in 3 card poker than a flush, the ranking order for straights and flushes are reversed.
This means:
A straight is MORE valuable than a flush in 3 Card Poker
Otherwise there are no changes to the hand rankings except for the elimination of any hands that require more than three cards.
This makes things pretty simple as there are only six possible 3-card poker hands you can make. Here they are ranked from highest to lowest:
Straight flush
Three of a kind
Straight
Flush
Pair
