Three card poker is a popular casino game played around the world, including in the Dominican Republic. It is a card game that is easy to learn but can take some skill and experience to master. Players compete against the dealer instead of other players. The goal is to get the best three-card poker hand with the cards dealt.
The game is played with a standard 52-card deck. Each player is dealt three cards face down. The dealer also receives three cards, but two of those are dealt face down and the other is dealt face up. This card is known as the "upcard".
The player then has the option of either folding and forfeiting their ante or making a call bet equal to the ante. The player can also raise their ante by an amount equal to the ante. If the player folds, they lose their ante. If the player makes a call bet, the dealer then reveals their hand.
