How to Play Three Card Poker – Simple Rules for Beginners

Three Card Poker is a fast-paced and easy-to-learn casino game. You'll be playing against the dealer, not the other players at the table.

How Three Card Poker Works

Both you and the dealer receive three cards. Your goal is to have a better poker hand than the dealer using your three cards.

Simple Steps to Play

1. Place Your Bet

Place your chips in the Ante betting area before the cards are dealt.

2. Receive Your Cards

You and the dealer are each dealt three cards face down.

3. Look at Your Hand

Check your cards and decide whether to continue.

4. Play or Fold

Play – Continue the hand by placing a Play bet equal to your Ante.
Fold – End the hand and lose your Ante bet.

5. Dealer Reveals Their Cards

The dealer turns over their cards and compares their hand with yours.

6. Best Hand Wins

If your hand ranks higher than the dealer's, you win!
