It works out to the same thing except the Play bet pays a premium for a losing hand of a straight or higher, known as 'Bad Beat Bonus.'

No longer is there an Ante Bonus, but the Play bet pays a premium for hands of a straight or higher. If the dealer doesn't qualify, now it is the Ante that pushes instead of the Play. Semantically, there are some changes too. Mathematically, the base game in Three Card Prime works out to the same thing as Three Card Poker, except the player wins more if he has a straight or higher and loses to the dealer. The following table shows the hand order in Three Card Prime.

The All 6 pays based on the poker-value of the six cards comprised of the player's and dealer's three cards.

If all six cards between the player and dealer hands are the same color, then it pays 4 to 1.

The Prime bet pays at least 3 to 1 if the player's three cards are the same color.

If the player has a paying hand of a pair or higher a dummy card will be revealed that will increase the win, if it is a deuce, according to the pay table below.

The Pair Bonus pays based mostly on the player's hand only.

If the player and dealer tie, then the Ante will push and the Play will pay according to the pay table below.

In the unlikely event the player loses with a straight or higher, the Play bet will pay according to the pay table below. If the player has flush or less, the Play will also lose.

If the dealer has the higher poker hand, then the Ante will lose.

If the player has the higher poker hand, then the Ante will pay even money and the Play according to the pay table below.

The order of poker hands is indicated below.

If the dealer qualifies, then the player's hand will be compared to the dealer's hand, the higher hand wins.

If the dealer does not qualify, then Ante will push and the Play bet will pay according to the pay table below.

The dealer needs a queen high or better to qualify.

If the player raises, then he must make an additional Play bet, equal exactly to his Ante bet.

If the player folds, then he forfeits his Ante wager.

If the player made the Ante bet, then he has must either fold or raise.

The dealer gives each player three cards and himself three cards.

At this time he may optionally bet on the Pair Bonus and Prime side bets. The only decision is to fold or raise after getting your hand. In both games, the object is to have a higher ranking three-card poker hand the dealer. Three Card Prime is very similar to Three Card Poker. On this page Three Card Prime Introduction
