ANTE/PLAY STRATEGY

This game starts with the players placing bets in the Ante spots in the table layouts. The ante can be any amount with the posted table limits. The players and the dealer all get three cards, face down. The players all look at their hands and either fold by giving their cards back and losing their Ante bet, or play by placing a bet, equal to the Ante, in the "play" spot in the layout. The dealer then turns over his cards. If he does not have Queen High or better, he doesn't qualify to play and pays the active players even money on their Ante bets and those with a straight or better are paid the additional Ante bonus. If he does have a qualifying hand, those who cannot beat it lose their Antes and their play bets, but still win the Ante bonus with a straight or higher. Those who can bet the dealer win even money on both bets plus the Ante bonus, if any.

PAIR PLUS STRATEGY

Since the only decision the player has to make in this game is to play or not to play, there is no strategy involved. However, the very low house advantage of less than 2 1/2% makes it about as attractive as any table game you can find. You cannot bet five dollars and win a house here, but the payouts are very generous, and you should get a pay hand of some sort about 25% of the time
