About Three Card Duel
Three Card Duel is a short head-to-head game against the dealer. You place an ante and receive three cards face up; the dealer receives three face down. Look at your hand and either fold, giving up the ante, or play by adding a raise equal to the ante.
The dealer needs a queen or better to qualify. If the dealer does not qualify, your ante pays even money and your raise is returned. If the dealer qualifies, the higher hand takes both bets. Straights and better also earn an ante bonus whatever the dealer holds.
The feature
Ante, then fold or raise. The dealer qualifies with queen-high. Ante bonus: straight ×1, three of a kind ×4, straight flush ×5.
