Live Three Card Poker – the most popular
casino specialty table game of all time
Created in partnership with SHFL entertainment, Inc., Evolution’s Live
Three Card Poker is the authentic, world-class, online version of the
most popular specialty table game of all time.
With hands of just three cards, the game is fast, fun and easy to play,
yet endlessly engaging. Three Card Poker differs from conventional
poker in other exciting ways, too.
With their main Three Card Poker hand, an unlimited number of
players play against the house, not against each other. And with the
dealer needing a ‘Queen high’ to play, players don’t need to be poker
experts to join in the fun and stand a chance of winning.
The optional Pair Plus Bonus bet also means that players can win
payouts of up to 100 to 1 on a pair or better, even if they fail to beat
the dealer’s Three Card Poker hand.

KEY FEATURES OVERVIEW
What is Three Card Poker?
Three Card Poker is the most popular casino
specialty table game of all time. Packing all the
excitement and suspense of regular poker, it’s a fun,
fast-paced, easy-to-play game that gives players a
number of opportunities to win.
The Ante bet is played against the dealer, while
the optional Pair Plus Bonus bet allows players to
compete against a payout table with exciting odds
of up to 100 to 1.
Because players are playing against the house, an
unlimited number of players can play simultaneously
at one Three Card Poker table. Each player may take
only one seat at the table.
The game is played with one standard 52-card
deck, with the cards shuffled after each game.
The Evolution Live Casino toolbar
Most features of the Evolution user interface
toolbar are common to all our live games, across
all devices. For a description of the toolbar, please
refer to our main Live Casino factsheet.
I f the dealer has less than Queen high, the Play
bet pushes and the Ante bet is paid 1:1
I f the dealer qualifies to play, the player’s hand is
compared with the dealer’s hand and the higherranking poker hand wins
I f the player has the higher-ranking poker hand,
the Ante and Play bets both pay even money
I f the dealer has the higher-ranking poker hand,
the player loses both his or her Ante and Play bets
I f the player and dealer tie (i.e. they have equalranking poker hands), the Ante and Play bets are
a push
I f the player gets a Straight or better, the player
receives an Ante Bonus, regardless of the value of
the dealer’s hand. Please note that the player has
to call/play his hand to receive the Ante bonus.
T
he Pair Plus Bonus bet is quite separate to the
Ante and Play bets; it pays entirely based on the
value of the player’s hand.
The dealer completes the game by reconciling the
hands of those players who have not folded. The
bets are reconciled in the following order: Play bet
first, the Ante Bonus second, the Ante bet third and
the Pair Plus Bonus bet last.
HOW TO PLAY
To begin the game, the player must make an Ante
bet. The player may also place an optional Pair Plus
Bonus bet. The Bonus bet is evaluated separately
at the end of each game, so each bet provides an
entirely separate opportunity to win.
The dealer then announces, “No more bets”.
All players and the dealer then each receive three
cards. The dealer’s cards are dealt face down, while
the players’ cards are dealt face up.
After examining his or her three cards, each player
has the option to make a Play bet (which must
be equal to that player’s Ante bet) or to Fold (i.e.
decide not to continue and therefore forfeit any
bets they have placed).
2
The dealer then reveals his or her hand. The dealer
requires a ‘Queen high’ or better to play. Therefore,
the dealer will announce, “Dealer doesn’t play” or
“Dealer plays with a Queen”, depending on what
hand they have.
The Ante bet and the Play bet
The Ante bet is a mandatory bet that players must
place at the start of each game, before their cards
are dealt.
With the Ante bet, the player has the option to
either make a Play bet of 1x the Ante bet or to Fold
after seeing their three dealt cards.
The player’s objective with the Ante and Play bets
is to make a better Three Card Poker hand than the
dealer. In these bets, each player plays head-tohead against the dealer.
The Ante Bonus
Having placed the Ante bet, the player will receive an
Ante Bonus if his or her hand is a Straight or better.
This bonus is paid regardless of the value of the
dealer’s hand.
PRODUCT OFFERING
The Pair Plus Bonus bet
This is an optional side bet. The player’s objective
is to make a pair or better. If the player achieves
this, they win, irrespective of the dealer’s hand. To
place this bonus bet the player must first place the
Ante bet.
Choose 3D View or Classic View
Players can choose their view of the game by
clicking on the Settings button in the toolbar. By
default the player sees the 3D View of the game.
3D View
In 3D View the player’s seat and designated
betting area appears directly on the livestream video image of the game table.
Classic View
In Classic View the live-stream video image is
smaller and players can interact with a graphical
depiction of the game table.
3
The user interface initially displays the best view
based on an automatic assessment of the player’s
internet connection. Players can change the camera
view by clicking on the Settings button in the toolbar.
Multi-Game Play
With Multi-Game Play, players can even play up
to four Evolution live games simultaneously in a
single master window. While playing one game they
simply click the + symbol to join further games.
