What is Three Card Poker?
Three Card Poker, sometimes also known as Tri Card Poker or Trey Card Poker, is an incredibly popular casino game in Germany. It is believed to have originated in the 1800s in the United States and is similar to the game of three-card brag.
It is offered at nearly any casino, both online and land-based, in Germany. The game is simple, which makes it as fun for casual players as it is for experienced professionals, and its odds of winning give even newcomers an opportunity to take home some winnings.
Three Card Poker is a game of two hands. The dealer and the player each are dealt three cards facedown. After examining their hands, players can choose to either "fold" or "raise." If a player folds, he forfeits the current hand and his bet. If a player choose to raises, he must place a bet equal to the initial ante that was placed.
The dealer then reveals his cards and compares them to the players’. A qualified hand consists of a Queen, 6 and 4 or higher. If the hand of the dealer does not qualify, the player wins the ante and the raise, but his original wager is a push. If the dealer’s hand qualifies but is lower than the players’, the player is paid out on the ante as well as the raise at even money (1:1). If the dealer’s hand beats the players’, the player loses both initially placed wagers.
