HOW TO BET
To begin the game, you need to place an Ante bet, a Pair Plus bet, or both. Select the
amount you wish to bet by clicking on the corresponding chip. Then place the chip on the
table by clicking on ANTE and/or PAIR PLUS. Continue until the total amount that you
wish to bet (within the minimum and maximum limits shown) is displayed on the table. If
you have made a mistake, click on CLEAR. Click on DEAL to start the game.
HOW TO PLAY
Three cards are dealt to you face up. The house is dealt three cards face down. If you only
placed a Pair Plus bet, you win if your hand is equal to or better than a pair, whatever the
house hand.
If you placed an Ante, you have the following options:
Fold:
You forfeit your hand and automatically lose the game and your Ante. If you have also
placed a Pair Plus bet, you also lose that. Click on FOLD to choose this option. The
house will then reveal its hand.
Play:
You can choose to remain in the game. Click on the Play button and a bet equal to your
Ante will automatically appear in the PLAY zone. The house then reveals its hand, and
there are now two showdown possibilities:
The House does not qualify if its hand is not Queen high or of higher rank. In this
case, your Ante wins and is paid even money. You also recover your Play bet.
The House qualifies if its hand is Queen high or of higher rank. In this case, there are
three new possibilities.
Your hand is of higher value than the house hand: Your Ante and Play bets win and
are paid even money.
Your hand is of lesser value than the house hand: You lose your Ante and your Play
bet.
Your hand and the house hand are of equal value: You recover your Ante and your
Play bet.
ANTE BONUS PAYMENTS
If you placed an Ante and a Play bet and you have one of the following hands, you win a
Bonus Payment, regardless of the value of the House hand:
A Straight flush pays 5:1 (5 times the initial bet)
Three of a kind pays 4:1 (4 times the initial bet)
A Straight pays even money
NOTE: In all game situations mentioned in the Play section, you win the Bonus Payment
on your Ante if your hand qualifies and you have placed a Play bet. Bonus Payments are
added to payments for initial bets at even money if your hand is better than the House
hand.
PAIR PLUS PAYOUTS
If you have placed a winning Pair Plus bet, your payout will be as follows, irrespectively
of the value of the house hand:
A Straight flush pays 40:1
Three of a kind pays 30:1
A Straight pays 6:1
A Flush pays 4:1
A Pair pays 1:1
NOTE: Winnings are paid into your Espacejeux account.
