How to Play Royal Crown 3 Card Brag (Novomatic)
Three card brag is an ancient card game that is supposed to be an
ancestor to poker. An ordinary 52-card deck with no jokers is used in it. All cards are shuffled before each deal.
The user plays against the casino whose role is performed by the virtual dealer. The aim of the game is to beat the croupier by collecting a higher three-card hand.
It is allowed to play only one hand in Royal Crown 3 Card Brag. Two types of bets are available: Ante and Pair Bonus (read about it below.) The ante size should exceed fifty credits.
Having made a bet, the user gets three cards. All of them are placed face up. The croupier deals three hole cards to himself.
Then the player should decide whether to continue the game by making a side bet called Play (it is equal to one ante) or fold, losing wagered money. If he or she folds, the round ends. If he or she makes a Play bet, the dealer reveals his cards.
The game may develop according to the following scenario:
- If the dealer does not have at least the lowest-ranking hand (i.e. one queen), the player receives a payout that is equal to one ante. The Play bet is just returned to him.
- If the dealer has at least the lowest-ranking hand, the dealer's and player's hands are compared with each other. If the dealer wins, the player's bets go to the cashier. If the player's hand has a higher rank, both bets are paid 1:1.
In addition, there are bonus payouts discussed below.
