3-Card Poker Hot Tactics

Always play 'Head-to-Head' - never the 'House' - that's the winning formula that gives you the advantage with our unique version of our new hit: 3-card Poker! Already wildly popular with the punters, we've got a few top tips that may give you the edge. Here they are:

Play both games at once. Conservative players can play just the 'Ante' game to beat the dealer, but will miss out on huge bonus payouts in the event they receive a particularly good hand from the dealer. Play the 'Ante' game to beat the dealer AND play the 'Pairs Plus' game in case you get dealt that killer hand.

• Bet BIG for a few early hands to get ahead of the game...then when you're ahead, stay ahead by holding back on betting too many chips.
• If you're brave, go ALL-IN with your chipstack and try to double your starting $10,000 chipstack to $20,000 on the first hand then again to $40,000 on the 2nd hand and so on...we've had some players amass over a MILLION $ in chips! This tactic is particulalry useful for our FREEROLLS were your score counts!
• Or ... if you're feeling lucky, why not stake a few chips onto the 'PairsPlus' betting ring and see if you can get a bonus payout for having a pair of cards (or better). A Royal Flush (like a Jack, Queen & King of Hearts) gives a whopping 40x payout (what better way to turn $1,000 in chips into $40,000, instantly!)

Remember: All real money players get a FREE entry into our weekly 3-Card Poker FREEROLL, so have a go at practicing your new Poker skills on the house!
