There are 3-card poker tables in the casino gaming hall, with an additional table in the high-stakes area and one in the penthouse. The standard bets at the first tables are as follows (ante: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3,000, 3,500, 4,000, 4,500, or 5,000 chips; pair plus: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, or 500 chips). The other tables feature higher stakes (ante: 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3,000, 3,500, 4,000, 4,500, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, 40,000, 45,000, or 50,000 chips; pair plus: 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3,000, 3,500, 4,000, 4,500, or 5,000 chips). You can decline one of the bets. Each player is dealt three cards from a 52-card deck. After reviewing the hand, you have the option to play (equal to ante bet) or fold. The second option is not recommended, as even with the worst cards, the dealer might not draw a queen, which means their hand can’t play. This way, you can at least recover your bet.

PC Controls:

• E — Play
• V — Change View
• Esc — Quit
• Enter — Place Bet
• Space — Decline Bet or Fold
• Arrows Up and Down — Adjust Bet
• Tab — Max Bet
• Page Down — Check Your Cards
• Page Up — Check Dealer’s Cards
• Left Ctrl — Check the Rules
• Left Shift — Check the Hand Rankings

The rules are detailed in the corresponding windows, and all possible actions during the game are displayed on the screen. The only downside is that it’s not always easy to review them, as you have 30 seconds for each decision (betting/playing/folding).

Cards and Hands Rankings:

• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king, ace — ranked in ascending order;
• High card — the highest card without any combination;
• Pair — two cards of the same rank (for example, two sixes or two jacks);
• Flush — three cards of the same suit (for example, hearts or diamonds);
• Straight — three consecutive cards (for example, four, five, and six; suit does not matter);
• Three of a kind — three cards of the same rank (for example, three kings);
• Straight flush — three consecutive cards of the same suit (for example, seven, eight, and nine of hearts).

A full house, royal flush, and some other combinations cannot exist in three-card poker.

To receive bonuses for bets, you need to have combinations higher than a high card. Payouts for ante bet are 1 to 1 (straight), 4 to 1 (three of a kind), or 5 to 1 (straight flush); payouts for pair plus will only pay if you have a pair or a higher combination: 1 to 1 (pair), 4 to 1 (flush), 6 to 1 (straight), 30 to 1 (three of a kind), 40 to 1 (straight flush). The maximum win in 3-card poker (straight flush at the highest stakes) is 655,000 chips.
