About Three Card Poker
Released in 2018, Three Card Poker is Evolution's simplified live poker game with a fast 3-card format — the most accessible and quickest poker variant in Evolution's portfolio, ideal for beginners or short sessions. RTP is 96.63%, with a max win of 40x on the main game and significant jackpot potential through the 6 Card Bonus side bet. The math model favors accessible sessions with regular hits and the option of premium side bets to chase larger payouts.
The visual setting is an elegant, compact poker studio with a classic green felt table, a formally dressed dealer who deals cards quickly, an intimate traditional casino atmosphere, and a green felt-passion red-velvet black-gold palette. Cinematic animations show cards flipping cleanly during reveals, chips stacking, and live statistics in the HUD. The sound design blends muted jazz, the click of cards, and Evolution's signature studio ambience.
The signature mechanic is 3 cards each for the Player and the Dealer (versus 5 cards in classic poker). You compete for the best 3-card hand (Straight Flush > Three of a Kind > Straight > Flush > Pair > High Card). After seeing your 3 cards, you decide to Play (paying 1x your ante) or Fold (losing your ante). The Dealer needs Queen-high or better to qualify.
Premium side bets include the 6 Card Bonus, where the Player's 3 cards and the Dealer's 3 cards form a 6-card hand (the best 5-card combination pays 5:1 up to 1,000:1, with a 6-card Royal Flush paying a massive jackpot). The Pair Plus side bet pays out if you hold a pair or better (payouts from 1:1 up to 40:1). The Mini-Royal 100x bonus applies to Pair Plus for a suited Q/K/A. Stakes range from 1€ to 500€. Available at most top-ranked crypto casinos in BetsRank's rankings. Compare it with Casino Hold'em (Texas-style with 5 community cards), Caribbean Stud Poker (5-card stud), Side Bet City (side bets only), Texas Hold'em Bonus (another variant), and Ultimate Texas Hold'em (with a Pre-Flop bet).
