Vegas Three Card Rummy Description
The game of Vegas Three
Card Rummy is played between the Dealer and
the Player with a 52-card deck. The Player
is dealt three cards face up and the Dealer
is dealt three cards face down. The goal of
Vegas Three Card Rummy is to get fewer points
than the Dealer.
The Dealer's hand
must have 20 points or less to qualify. If
the Dealer does not qualify, the Player wins
even money on the Ante and the Raise is returned.
The payout for the Bonus Bet is determined
independently from the Dealer's hand.
Vegas Three Card Rummy Rules:
- Cards are dealt from
a single deck.
- Both Dealer and Player
receive three cards. The Dealer's cards are
dealt face down.
- The Bonus Bet is paid
based on the pay table located below.
- Cards are shuffled
after every hand.
Rummy Card Values
Cards 2 through 10 = face
value
Jack, Queen, King = 10
points
Aces = 1 point
Any Pair = 0 points
Any Triple = 0 points
Two-card Suited Run =
0 points
Three-card Suited Run
= 0 points
Note - Ace, King is not
a suited run
Important -
When a hand can be scored as either a pair
or a two-card suited run and neither leads
to a lower score, the two-card suited run will
always be used to determine the score. When
a hand can be scored as either a pair or a
two-card suited run, the two-cards that will
be chosen will result in the lowest possible
score for a given hand.
The Ante Wager
After placing an Ante
wager the Player is dealt 3 cards face up and
the Dealer receives 3 cards face down. If the
Player does not believe their hand can beat
the Dealer, the Player can fold the hand and
forfeit the Ante wager.
If the Player believes
the hand can beat the Dealer's hand, the Player
must Raise with a wager equal to the Ante amount.
After Raising, the Dealer's cards will be revealed.
To qualify the Dealer's hand must contain 20
points or less. If qualified, the Dealer's
hand will be compared to the Player's hand,
the winner having the lowest point total in
their hand. If the Dealer has the lowest point
total the Player loses both the Ante and Raise
bets. If the Dealer does not qualify, the Player
wins even money on the Ante and the Raise wager
is returned. If the Player has the lowest point
total the Ante is paid 1:1 and the Raise wager
is paid according to the pay-table (see below).
The Bonus Bet
The Bonus Bet is won if
the Player's hand contains 12 points or less.
The Bonus Bet wager is a not measured against
the Dealer's hand, it is paid out based on
the point total of the hand dealt, (see pay-table
below). If the Player wagers on the Ante and
folds the hand the Bonus Bet wager is also
forfeited.
