The gameplay loop starts with players placing their wagers on the Ante betting box. The dealer deals three private cards to you and three private cards to the dealer's hand. You must look at your three cards and decide whether to "Fold" or "Play" (Raise). If you choose to Play, you must place a bet equal to your original Ante bet. The croupier then turns the house cards face-up to check if they qualify with a Queen-high or better.

To evaluate your hand strength, keep in mind these unique three-card poker combinations:
+ +Straight Flush: Three consecutive cards of the identical suit (e.g., 5-6-7 of Hearts). +Three of a Kind: Three matching card ranks, which ranks higher than a straight in this game. +Straight: Three cards in sequence of mixed suits, which is mathematically harder than a flush. + + +

To play Three Card Poker with the best odds, you only need to memorize one simple hand threshold. You should always Play (Raise) if your hand is Queen-6-4 or higher. If you hold a King or an Ace, raise automatically, as your hand is statistically strong. If your cards are worse than Queen-6-4, fold and surrender your ante to avoid further losses. Following this simple rule reduces the overall house edge of the Ante game to a friendly 3.37%.
