Three Card Poker

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010

Ok - so you like to try Three Card Poker? Good choice!

According to the Wizard of odds the house edge for the casino is as low as 2.32% on the pair plus bet. So even if you have no idea about the game you can still play for a long while before you run out of money with good chances of hitting a good hand (3 of a kind or straight flush).
When playing Three card Poker - play this strategy:

Always play the Ante and the Pair Plus bet
Always play the hand when you have Queen/6/4 or higher

That's it!
On my last trip to Vegas I have won a couple of hundred bucks in just a couple of minutes by hitting 2 good hands - and this can happen to you. I highly recommend downloading Kiwi Casino and playing "Poker Three" for fun for a while. It is a nice and fun poker variation.

What a Taxi driver in Vegas told me:
First he told me that he worked for a casino before - well probably not one of the best employees as he now drives a taxi - but never mind.
He has heard of players who go to the Bellagio or any other classy place - get a Players card to get their game rated - put $500 on the Three card Poker Table and play $25 bets. They choose a crowded table so the game is slow. Just playing 2-3 hours with $25 bets can bring them a free hotel room at the Bellagio - chances are very good that they don't lose their $500 - chances are that they walk away with $700 - $1,000 if they are just a bit lucky. So if you are looking for some good comps in Vegas - play Three Card Poker.
