Fast Poker
The objective of Fast Poker is to get the best possible three-card poker hand and beat the dealer's hand. In addition to the game, there is also an option to place a side bet, a so-called Pair+ bet.
How to Play
Use your left mouse button to click on the chip that you wish to bet. Then place the bet by either clicking on the ANTE area (the ante bet), or the PAIR+ area (the side bet), or on both areas. You can remove a wagered chip before the game begins by clicking on the wagered chip with your right mouse button. When you have placed your bet, click the DEAL button to start the game round. Click SAME BET to repeat the bet from the previous round.
You and the dealer will receive three cards each. Your cards will be dealt face up. If you have made a Pair+ bet and you have one pair or better, you win according to the Pair+ paytable (PAIR+ PAYTABLE). If you have only made a Pair+ bet, the game round is over.
If you have made an ANTE bet, it is now time to decide if the cards you have been dealt are good enough to continue with. If they are, click on RAISE. An additional raise bet is made and it is placed in the RAISE area. If you believe your cards are not very good, click on FOLD (note that the dealer must qualify with a Queen or better). You will forfeit your ante bet.
When you click RAISE, the dealer's three cards will be turned face up and the outcome of the game round is decided. The dealer must qualify with a Queen or better. If the dealer does not qualify, you will win 1 to 1 on the ante bet and the raise bet will push (i.e. be given back to you). The different outcomes are summarised below.
| Action | Player outcome |
| Bet on Pair+ - player has pair or higher | Win according to the Pair+ paytable (PAIR+ PAYTABLE) |
| Fold | The ante bet is lost |
| Raise, dealer does not qualify | 1 to 1 on the ante bet and push on the raise bet |
| Raise, dealer qualifies, dealer has a higher hand | The ante and raise bets are lost |
| Raise, dealer qualifies, player has a higher hand, but not straight or higher | 1 to 1 on the ante bet and the raise bet |
| Raise, dealer does not qualify, player has straight or higher | 1 to 1 on the ante bet and push on the raise bet + win according to the ante bet bonus paytable (ANTE BET PAYTABLE) |
| Raise, dealer qualifies, player has straight or higher | 1 to 1 on the ante bet and the raise bet + win according to the ante bet bonus paytable (ANTE BET PAYTABLE) |
| Tie | Push on the ante and raise bets |
