Win Three Cards

Introduction

Win Three Cards is a unique card game provided by Asia Gaming , a renowned live dealer platform for online casinos. When drawing comparisons to other games, it shares characteristics with both baccarat and Three Card Poker. Continue reading for a comprehensive overview of the rules.

Rules

The following set of rules reflects my interpretation based on some poorly drafted guidelines from Asia Gaming .

1. This game utilizes a single deck of cards for play.
2. Cards hold values similar to those in poker, with aces being considered either high or low.
3. Three-card hands are evaluated in the same manner as in Three Card Poker , however the hand order is different.
4. After the betting phase, both the Dragon and Phoenix hands will receive three cards each.
5. There are two primary wagers: one on the Dragon hand and another on the Phoenix hand, predicting which will possess the superior ranking.
6. In addition, there are side wagers on the poker ranking of the stronger of the two hands.
7. The hierarchy of hands, from the highest to the lowest, is as follows:
   • An unsuited 2-3-5 is a unique hand that only ranks highest when it triumphs over a three of a kind; otherwise, it is ranked at the bottom.
   • Three of a kind
   • Straight flush
   • Flush
   • Crazy 4 Poker
   • Mississippi Stud
   • One Card Poker
8. If both hands are tied in rank, the values of the individual cards will be examined to determine the winner.
9. Online Craps
   • Dragon — Pays 0.95 to 1 when the Dragon hand is the stronger hand. In the case of a tie, bets are returned.
   • Phoenix — Pays 0.95 to 1 when the Phoenix hand holds the higher value. Ties will result in a push.
   • Three of a Kind — Pays 120 to 1 if the stronger hand consists of three cards of the same value.
   • Straight Flush — Pays 100 to 1 if the higher hand is a Straight Flush.
   • Flush — Pays 8 to 1 for a winning hand that is a Flush.
   • Straight — Pays 7 to 1 if the higher hand is a Straight.
   • Pair 8 Plus — Pays 2 to 1 if the winning hand includes a pair of nines or better. Admittedly, the title is misleading, but according to the online rules, the payouts begin with a pair of nines.

The table below illustrates my assessment of the Dragon and Phoenix wagers. The cell in the bottom right corner indicates a house edge of 2.50%.

The table below details my evaluations of all the side wagers. The lower right cell reveals a house edge of 2.50%. The rightmost column shows that the house edge for side bets varies between 9.13% to 56.40% (which is quite high!).
