Three Card Second Chance Poker

Added: March 16, 2017

Poker is one of the more popular games played online and those that visit online casinos that cater to New Zealand players will find a great variety of games that can be enjoyed for free and for real money wagers. One game variant is a three card poker game that offers a second chance. This fun game can only be played at casino sites that are using Wagerworks software. The game offers a lower house edge than a standard game of three card poker, so there are greater chances to collect payouts.

The hand rankings with this game are the same regular three card poker, and after placing an ante bet, players will receive their three card hand. They can choose to play the game or they can discard it and trade it for a second hand. This will cost double the initial bet, but offers another chance to hold a winning hand. If the player holds their first hand, they cannot raise the bet amount.

The pay table for the game is similar to standard three card poker. The ante and raise pay table offers a 6:1 payout for a straight flush, 4:1 for a 3 of a kind, 3:2 for a straight and 1:1 for less than a straight. There are chances to win more from the game by making use of the Side Bet option. This is a Best Hand Bonus game and it is optional. This bet will pay according to the player and dealer hands, including any second chance hands. This means if the player takes a second chance hand and the dealer does not, there will be three hands being considered for the side bet win. The hand that has the highest ranking will be the winner. The payouts here range from 2:1 for a flush and can be as high as 35:1 for three Aces.

By having the ability to trade in the first hand and receive a new hand, players will have more opportunities to win, though they will have to bet more to use this feature. It is a great way to enjoy three card poker and there are some great payouts that can be achieved with the regular game as well as through the side bet.
