The game of Three Card Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck. The game consists of two stages - the Ante-Play and the Pair Plus. The Ante-Play is the main game and is played with the objective to make the best three-card poker hand. All players in the game place an ante bet before the cards are dealt. After the cards are dealt, the player can either raise or fold. If the player raises, the dealer will reveal their hand. The player's hand is then compared to the dealer's hand, and the best hand wins. If the player's hand beats the dealer's, the player is paid out according to the pay table.
The Pair Plus bet is an optional side bet that gives the player the chance to win additional money. In this bet, the player can win regardless of the outcome of the Ante-Play. To win the Pair Plus bet, the player must make a hand of at least a pair or better. The pay table for the Pair Plus bet is usually posted at the table.
