An Easy Guide on How to Play 3 Card Poker Three Card Poker is played with a single 52-card deck and is actually two games in one. First, the Pair Plus game allows players to wager on whether they will be dealt a Pair or better, or not. Secondly, the Play/Ante game allows players to wager against the house (dealer) to see who has the highest hand. The first action in a Three Card Poker hand is a mandatory bet known as the Ante. This wager must be made for a player to take a hand. After making the ante bet (along with the Pair Plus and other side bets, which will be explained below) players receive three cards, as does the dealer.

How to Play

Player must place a wager on the Ante box (minimum $5.)

Pair Plus wager is optional (minimum $5.)

After Ante (and optional Pair Plus) wager is made, three cards are dealt to each player. Player will look at all three cards.
