Three Card Poker is one of the most popular poker games in casinos today. It is a three-card stud poker game using one standard 52 card deck. Once each player has placed an ante bet, the dealer will deal each player three cards. The dealer’s cards will remain face-down.

After each player has viewed their cards, they can choose to fold, or place an additional bet to “play”. Once all “play” bets have been made, the dealer will reveal their cards. In order to “qualify” to compete with the players, the dealer must have a Queen-high or better. If this does not happen, the round results in a “push” on all “play” bets and a 1 to 1 payout on the ante. If the dealer does qualify and the player wins, the “play” pays 1 to 1, and the ante pays 1 to 1. There are also bonuses for exceptional hands.

Let it Ride is a casino variation of Poker where the player bets on the five-card poker hand created by their own three cards and two community cards. Let it Ride is played at a relaxed pace and is popular with both new and experienced players.

Before the player looks at their cards, they must place 3 equally sized bets on the table. The player is then given 2 opportunities to withdraw one of their bets; once after they look at their cards, and once more after the first community card is revealed. If the player decides to not withdraw their bet, they are said to “let it ride”.

Mississippi Stud is a five-card poker game played with one standard 52 card deck. Unlike the other poker games, player hands are not compared to a dealer’s hand, but only against a payout table that pays out on the result of the player’s hand. In this regard it is similar to Let it Ride poker.

In Mississippi Stud, each player first places an ante bet to buy into the game. The dealer then deals two cards face down to each player and three community cards face down at the middle of the table. A player may then fold, forfeiting their ante, or they may continue by raising their bet by an amount of one to three times their ante, known as the “3rd Street” bet. The first community card is then turned over, and the players may fold or make another raise, the “4th Street” bet. The second community card is the turned, and the final “5th Street” round of betting proceeds as before. After that the final community card is revealed, and the players are paid out.
