Three Card Poker is a casino table game based on poker.
History of Three Card Poker
The game was first created by Derek Webb in 1994. It was patented in 1997. Webb’s objective was to create a version of poker that played with the speed of other table games. It was important to Webb that he got the correct mix of three important factors for any casino game: 1.) the game rules were easy to understand, 2.) the payouts were large enough to attract players, and 3.) the house edge was enough that casino owners would be interested in adopting the game.
