Three Card Poker, sometimes known as Poker-3 or Tri-Card Poker, is a unique casino game that blends classic poker strategies and casino gaming. As the game's name suggests, the game is played with three cards. Three Card Poker is derived from the classic card game, but it has been adapted to fit into the many casinos found on the web. Players are dealt a trio of cards and the goal is to make a hand higher than the dealer's hand. In some versions of the game, players can also place an optional side bet to win a larger prize.
