Tri-Card Poker
The goal of
Tri-Card Poker
is to get a higher-ranked poker hand than the dealer. In Tri-Card Poker, you can place an Ante bet, a Pair Plus bet, or both. An Ante bet is a bet that your hand will be ranked higher than the dealer's hand.
A Pair Plus bet is a bet that your hand will be ranked higher than the dealer's hand and will be a pair or better.
The dealer's hand must qualify with the high card and a Queen or with a pair or better. If the dealer's hand does not qualify, you automatically win even money on the Ante bet and you
push
on the raised bet.
