A combination card game allows players to play 3 distinct games using one hand of cards. In a preferred embodiment, players place wagers on an Ante spot to play Three Card Poker®, a Tripoley® spot to win odds, and a Best 2 Blackjack spot to play blackjack. A player can bet one, two or all three spots. Next, a three card hand is dealt to each player and to the dealer. If, after viewing his cards, a player has made the Ante wager, that player must make the Play wager or forfeit the Ante wager. A player who beats the dealer's three-card poker hand of Queen high or better and both the Ante and the Play wagers are paid 1 to 1. Certain hands will also receive Bonus Pays, regardless of the dealer's hand. A player wins odds if that player's hand contains the Tripoley® cards listed the paytable. Beating the dealer's best two-card blackjack hand wins 1 to 1. Ties push, unless both the player and the dealer have 21, in which case the dealer wins. The games of Poker, Tripoley® and blackjack can be played in any order. |
