Question 1

What is Three Card Poker and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Three Card Poker is a 52-card table game where players and dealer each receive three cards. Players post an Ante to compete against the dealer, a Pair Plus to wager on their own hand quality, or both. The dealer qualifies with Queen-high or better; non-qualifying dealer hands result in Ante paying 1:1 and Play pushing. RTP is 96.6% under optimal raise/fold strategy (Queen-6-4 threshold), with an independent Pair Plus RTP of approximately 97.68% at standard pay tables.

Question 2

What is the exact RTP and house edge of Three Card Poker?

Accepted Answer

Three Card Poker returns 96.6% of all Ante/Play bets to players under optimal strategy, representing a 3.4% house edge. Pair Plus carries an approximate 2.32% house edge under standard pay tables (Pair 1:1, Flush 4:1, Straight 6:1, Three of a Kind 30:1, Straight Flush 40:1). These are independent figures; combined session RTP depends on relative Ante and Pair Plus bet sizing. Millionaire Mode reduces all base payouts by 50%, altering effective RTP for the base game portion.

Question 3

How does Millionaire Mode function in Three Card Poker?

Accepted Answer

Millionaire Mode activates a secondary SHA-256 chain with per-hand spawn probability of min(5%, 0.25% × bet_usd). All standard payouts (Ante wins, Ante bonuses, Pair Plus) are reduced 50% while active. The Golden Event jackpot triggers when the spawn condition is met and the six-card combined hand (player plus dealer) forms a Straight Flush. The $1,000,000 prize is pre-funded and paid immediately. The jackpot chain is cryptographically independent from card generation and fully auditable.

Question 4

How can I verify Three Card Poker is provably fair?

Accepted Answer

Open the fairness panel to view the committed server seed hash, active client seed, and current nonce. After rotating your client seed, the full server seed is revealed. Using the published SHA-256 Fisher-Yates algorithm, apply the revealed server seed, client seed, and per-hand nonce to reconstruct the six-card sequence for any hand. Compare against the recorded deal. The Millionaire Mode chain uses a suffixed nonce and is verified by the same process independently.

Question 5

Which cryptocurrencies are accepted for Three Card Poker?

Accepted Answer

Network confirmations are required for deposits; withdrawals are processed to your registered wallet address without intermediary holds or additional processing delays.

Question 6

What is the mathematically optimal strategy for Three Card Poker?

Accepted Answer

Optimal Ante/Play strategy requires a single decision rule: raise (place the Play bet) on Queen-6-4 or higher; fold on anything weaker. This threshold is derived from expected value analysis of all possible dealer outcomes given the player hand. Pair Plus requires no decision. Card counting is ineffective due to per-hand deck regeneration via the provably fair seed system. No wagering progression system alters the house edge. Consistent application of the Queen-6-4 raise threshold is the only meaningful strategic variable.
