The winner is the player who can make the best five-card poker hand from the seven available cards. Since the 1990’s, Texas Hold’em has become one of the most popular poker games worldwide.
> Texas Hold’em is usually played with no ante, but with blinds. The player to the dealer’s left must make a “small blind” bet. The player to the left of the small blind must make a “big blind” bet. The amounts of both should be specified in advance.

3-CARD POKER > > Have you ever played a game of Three-Card Poker? The game is gaining popularity across the nation. It’s different than traditional poker and depends more on luck than strategy. For starters, each player receives three instead of the traditional five cards, so there are no Royal Flushes, Four of a Kinds, Full Houses, or Two Pairs.
> There are two games in Three Card Poker: 1) Pair Plus and 2) Ante & Play. Bet on one or on both games.
you must raise by placing what is called the Play bet, equal to the Ante. Now you play–no raises. The dealer must qualify with at least a Queen. If the dealer does not qualify, you win even money on the Ante and the Play bet is returned. If the dealer qualifies, here’s how the payout works: if you have a better hand, you win even money on both the Ante and Play bets; if you tie, both the Ante and Play bets push; if the dealer beats your hand, kiss both the Ante and Play bets goodbye.

Pair Plus The Pair Plus bet is a straight payout depending on your hand. The dealer’s hand isn’t an issue. You’re dealt a good hand–you win.
> Ante and Play The Ante and Play game is you against the dealer. First you’ll make your initial bet, the Ante. You’ll be dealt three cards and can decide to either play or fold. Keep in mind that if you fold, you not only lose your Ante but also lose any Pair Plus bet you made. So think carefully. If your Pair Plus bet won anything, you shouldn’t fold. If you decide to play,

Bonus Then there’s the Bonus. If you have a Straight or higher, there is a bonus payout. This is paid whether or not the dealer qualifies. If the dealer qualifies, the play bet wins even money and the payout on the ante is based on the casino’s pay table. If the dealer does not qualify, the payout on the ante is the same as above but the play bet is returned.
> Three-Card Poker’s popularity comes from the simplicity of the game. Since you are playing against the dealer, a camaraderie can develop amongst the players. Are you ready to play?
