At most 3 Card Poker tables you can play:

 

Ante bet

Play bet

PairPlus

Both Ante and PairPlus bet

The Ante, PairPlus and Play Bets

Before you receive any cards you have to make a decision. Will you bet

 

A) Just the Ante bet or

B) The Ante and the PairPlus bet

The Ante bet you must make to receive any cards. The PairPlus is optional. Basically, you're simply betting whether you think you will be dealt a pair or higher in your 3-card poker hand.

 

Once everyone has at the 3-Card Poker table has made that decision and made their bets, the dealer deals 3 cards face down to everyone in the hand. You can then look at your cards.

 

Once you've looked at you cards you now make another decision: Do you want to go on and match your hand up against the dealer and see which one is higher?

 

If you do, then you now make a "Play" bet, which is equal to the ante bet. Here's a look at the basic order of game play.

 

Place your ante bet (or ante and PairPlus bet)

Receive your cards

Choose to fold (losing all your bets made already) or make the Play bet (matching the ante)

If you fold you will lose your ante and your PairPlus bet (if you made it). If you Play (by matching the size of the ante), then you move on to compare your hand to the dealers to see if you get paid.
