The rules of Three Card Poker in Saudi Arabian mobile casinos are fairly simple and easy to understand. The game follows the same basic principles as regular Three Card Poker: each player is dealt three cards face down and then must make a decision whether to fold or play. The outcome of the game is determined by comparing the player's hand with the dealer's hand.
The game pits the player against the dealer, not against each other, and has two betting options, Ante and Pair Plus. The Ante bet is when the player bets that their three-card hand will beat the dealer’s three-card hand. To do this, the player must make an additional bet in the form of the Pair Plus bet, which pays out if the player holds a pair or better.
To start the game, each player puts down their Ante bet and any optional Pair Plus bets. The dealer then deals each player three cards. The players then decide whether to fold or stay in the game. If they decide to stay, they each put down a Play bet, equal to the value of their Ante bet.
The dealer then reveals their three cards and their hand must have a Queen or higher in order for them to qualify. If the dealer does not qualify, the player's Ante bet will be paid out at 1:1 and the Play bet is returned. If the dealer does qualify, then the hands of the player and the dealer are compared and the highest hand is declared the winner.
