Greektown Casino - Three Card Poker

Three Card Poker

Three Card Poker is a form of Stud Poker. Three Card Poker is comprised of two independent betting options.

One bet is called the Pair Plus bet. This wagering option allows the player to bet solely on the value of their hand. Additionally, a second betting option is available to the player called the Ante bet. This option allows the player to wager that their hand will beat the dealer’s hand. After seeing their cards, the players who have placed the Ante wagers may either forfeit their wager and cards or wager an amount which is equal to the Ante wager called the Play bet to stay in the game. Once the dealer’s hand is exposed and the best possible three card poker hand is determined, all winning bets are paid according to the payout schedules for each wager. Losing bets are forfeited.

BET AGAINST THE DEALER’S HAND - The ante allows you to play against the dealer. After you look at your three-card, you have two options, you can fold, or if you think your hand is high enough to beat the dealer, place an equal wager on the PLAY spot. If your hand beats the dealer’s qualifying hand of a Queen or better, YOU WIN BOTH wagers. If the dealer does not qualify, you win the ANTE wager and the PLAY wager is a push.

BET ON YOUR OWN HAND - Bet just the PAIR PLUS spot to play your hand value only and not against the dealer’s hand. If your hand contains a pair or better, YOU WIN!

BET BOTH - Bet ANTE and PAIR PLUS to play both. 25 If a player has placed an ANTE wager and a PAIR PLUS wager but does not make a PLAY wager, the player forfeits the ANTE and the PAIR PLUS wagers.
