The Basics of 3-Card Poker
Being a live dealer game, Live 3-Card Poker brings you face to face with real dealers. Every part of the game is live and produced in real time. Unlike the electronic version, it is played on a real table with real cards. There are no random number generators here, all the results are produced as you watch. You can even chat to the dealer as well as the other players around the table using the in-game chat window, and make some new friends!
If you have played 3-Card Poker before at a land-based casino or online, the good news is the live version is played in exactly the same way.
3-Card Poker is designed as a kind of hybrid game with aspects of Blackjack, Baccarat and traditional 5-card stud all rolled into one. Once the round starts and the betting opens, the first step is to place the ante bet.
Analysing your Hand
Once you have placed the ante bet, the dealer will start off by dealing you 3 cards facing up. The betting will open up again, giving you the chance to fold or to place a play bet. The aim of online casino 3-Card Poker is to beat the dealer’s hand by creating the highest scoring 3-Card Poker hand with a single deal.
The strategy comes in with making the play bet. The idea is to analyse your cards and decide whether the hand is strong or weak. You are also taking a guess as to what hand the dealer will receive.
To Play or to Fold?
If you feel you have a particularly strong hand like a pair of Kings or 3 of Kind, you can place a play bet at the same value as the ante bet. If your hand is poor and contains a high card of 8 or lower, it is best to fold and forfeit your ante bet.
Once you have decided which option to take, the dealer will deal himself or herself 3 cards and the hands are compared. The dealer must qualify with a Queen high card. If your hand is higher than the dealer’s you will be paid out accordingly. If the dealer’s hand is higher, you lose your ante bet and play bet. Just like in Blackjack online, you are aiming to beat the dealer! These games can be enjoyed on your mobile devices such as android, I phone and so much more.
Thrilling 3-Card Poker Side Bets
With Evolution Gaming’s 3-Card Poker, you also have the chance to place a side bet. There are two optional side bets to choose from, and each offer something special!
The first is the pair plus bet that can be placed at the start of the round. With this bet, you are betting that you will be dealt a matching set of cards in your 3-card hand. This bet runs independently from the main casino online game.
The second optional side bet is the 6-card bonus. With this bet, you are trying to make up the highest scoring 5-card poker hand with using the 3-cards in your hand and the 3-cards in the dealer hand. Payouts are determined by the strength of the poker hand achieved and there are plenty of chances to win big when you play at our online casino site!
