Casino 3 Card Poker Odds

Rules of the Game

3 Card Poker is a relative newcomer to casino gambling, but it’s made up for lost time by becoming the most profitable proprietary table game ever created. Before you get too excited, however, I should mention that the profits are going to either the casino or the person who owns the rights to the game. Three Card Poker play against the dealer should be an unbeatable game. The house edge, 2 percent of total action or 3.4 percent of the ante, is narrow enough that we can win sometimes, but in the long run the casino will grind out its profit. That's the way it's supposed to work, but sometimes there's a small glitch. Introduction As the name implies, Three Card Poker is a poker variation using 3-card hands. Three Card Poker is available with all of the larger casino softwares except for Grand Virtual. The game can a useful alternative for bonus play when lower house edge games such as blackjack, video poker, Texas hold'em bonus, and casino hold'em are not available.
