GENERAL RULES OF PLAY
• Any incorrect number of cards dealt to either a player or
dealer constitutes a total “Misdeal.”
• An exposed card DOES NOT constitute a “Misdeal.” More
than one card exposed during the dealing of the cards will
constitute a “Misdeal.”
• Ace is the highest ranking card, except in a 3-2-Ace
sequence.
• Management’s decision is final.
• Players cannot show their hands to other players.
ALLOWABLE WAGERS
• Before the first card is dealt, each player places a wager on
the “Ante” only or both the “Ante” and “Pair Plus.”
• A player may only place a “Pair Plus” wager if he or she has
also placed an “Ante” wager.
• The required “Ante” wager to place a “Pair Plus” wager
must be equal to the “Pair Plus” wager.
• All “Ante” and “Pair Plus” wagers must be placed prior to
the dealer announcing, “No more bets.” No wager shall be
made or increased, decreased or withdrawn after the dealer
has announced, “No more bets.”
• The “Play” wager must equal the “Ante” wager in amount
exactly.
• Only players seated at the table are permitted to wager.
Once a player has placed a wager and has been dealt a
round of cards, that player must remain seated until the
completion of the round of play.

THREE CARD POKER
Three card poker is an exciting variation to the game of
poker. The game is fast-paced and easy to learn.
PLAYER BETTING AGAINST THE DEALER
To play against the dealer, you must take an “Ante” wager.
After being dealt a hand of three (3) cards, you can:
• “Forfeit” your hand and “Ante” wager and if applicable
your “Pair Plus;” or
• Continue playing by placing a “Play” wager, which
must be equal in amount to your “Ante” wager.
The dealer’s hand qualifies with Queen high or better.
PLAYER AGAINST DEALER PAYOUTS
• If the dealer’s hand does not qualify (must be Queen high
or better), then your “Ante” wager wins 1 to 1 and your
“Play” wager is returned.
• If the dealer qualifies with Queen high or better and
if the player’s hand beats the dealer’s hand the “Play”
wager wins 1 to 1 and the “Ante” wager wins 1 to 1.
• In the event of a tie, then it is treated as a “Push” and
wagers are returned.
BETS
1. Bet “Ante” to play against the dealer only
2. – 3. Bet “Pair Plus” and “Ante” to play both the hand
value and against the dealer.
Wager must be the same on “Pair Plus” and “Ante” wagers.
Each player and the dealer receive three (3) cards.
PAIR PLUS WINS PAYOUTS
The “Pair Plus” wager allows you to bet on the ranked
value of the hands as they are dealt and is not in
competition against the dealer’s hand. An “Ante” wager
must also be placed in conjunction with the “Pair Plus”
wager in an amount at least equal to the “Pair Plus” wager.
The payout for the “Pair Plus” wager will be as follows:
Pair – 2 of the same rank
1 to 1
Flush – 3 of the same suit
3 to 1
Straight – 3 in unsuited consecutive rank
6 to 1
Three-of-a-Kind – 3 of the same rank
30 to 1
Straight Flush – 3 in suited consecutive rank
40 to 1
Mini Royal – Ace, King Queen suited
50 to 1
If the player fails to make a “Play” wager, but has placed a
“Pair Plus” wager and the required “Ante,” the player shall
forfeit both the “Pair Plus” and the “Ante” wager.
RANKING OF HANDS FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST
Straight Flush, Three-of-a-Kind, Straight, Flush and finally
a Pair.
If the player and the dealer fail to draw any of these hands,
then the hand that consists of the highest ranking card(s) wins.
