Place your bets: Before the cards are dealt, players place their bets on the table. There are two types of bets available in Three Card Poker: the Ante bet and the Pair Plus bet.
2. Receive your cards: Once the bets are placed, each player and the dealer are dealt three cards face down.
3. Decide to play or fold: After seeing their cards, players can either choose to play or fold. If a player folds, they lose their Ante bet and the game ends. If they decide to play, they must make an additional bet equal to their Ante bet.
4. Compare hands: After all the bets are placed, the dealer reveals their cards. The dealer needs at least a Queen high to qualify. If the dealer does not qualify, all remaining players win even money on their Ante bet and their additional bet pushes. If the dealer does qualify, the player's hand is compared to the dealer's hand to determine the winner.
5. Collect winnings: If the player's hand beats the dealer's hand, they win even money on both the Ante and additional bets. If the player has a strong hand, they can also win additional payouts on the Pair Plus bet, regardless of whether they beat the dealer.
6. Repeat: The game continues with players placing new bets for the next round
