A ton to Brag about with 3 Card Brag
2 Jun 2011
3 Card Brag is a game against the dealer. You start the game by placing an ante bet. You are then dealt three cards face-up with the dealer being dealt three cards face-down. The object of the game is to have a better three-card hand than the dealer. A dealer must have a queen or better to qualify.
If you are confident with your three-card hand, you can choose to play, and another bet is made. You can also choose to fold, and lose your ante. If you beat the dealer, and the dealer has a qualified hand, you win both your play bet and your ante. If you beat the dealer on a hand that the dealer didn't qualify for, you only win your ante bet and your play bet is returned.
The game within a game is the pair bonus bet. This is a separate side bet based on only your hand. If your hand is made up of a pair or better, then you win a pair bonus bet. A simple pair pays out 1 to 1. Flushes pay 4 to 1. Runs pay 6 to 1. Running flushes pay 30 to 1 and three of a kind pays 40 to 1.
3 Card Brag is a fun and simple game that even novices can learn in no time. Head to William Hill Vegas and get dealt a hand.
