Three Card Poker is often the busiest game in any casino while the crowd watching will inevitably stand around for hours observing the game! It is a game of high intensity and everybody wants to join in as either a player or a spectator!

The game of three card poker often throws people because of the two types of bonus available. However, you should not be put off as the Pair Plus Bonus and the Ante are very easy to understand.

The largest payout in three card poker is from the Pair Plus. To earn this bonus you must place a bet in the Pair Plus Area and the cards you are dealt must be a pair or higher. You can bet here only before the cards are dealt. You can expect to see the following bonuses:

Pair = one times your bet
Flush = three times your bet
Straight = six times your bet
Three of a Kind = 30 times your bet
Straight Flush = 40 times your bet

The great thing about this game is if you lose, but you have a pair or higher, you still get the bonus! This is one reason many people love this game because you are paid even as a loser.

The Ante bonuses are harder to win because you required a straight or higher to win and it pays out as follows:

Straight = one times your bet
Three of a Kind = four times your bet
Straight Flush = five times your bet

You still get the Ante bonus if you have a straight, three of a kind or a straight flush even if you lose your hand. Additionally, if you bet the pair plus and the ante you win both!

This game is exciting but if you are not catching the cards you need your bankroll will diminish quickly so please bear that in mind. Before placing a bet, decide if you are going to be playing the Pair Plus bonus.
