Vegas Three Card Rummy

In Vegas Three Card Rummy you are dealt 3 cards face up and the Dealer is dealt 3 cards face down. The objective of Vegas Three Card Rummy is to obtain fewer points than the Dealer. It's pretty simple.

The Dealer's hand becomes eligible with 20 points or less. If the Dealer doesn't qualify, you win even money on the Ante and your Raise is returned. Payout for the Bonus Bet is determined separately from the Dealer's hand.

Game's Rules

Cards are dealt from a single deck.
Both Dealer and Player receive 3 cards. The Dealer's cards are dealt face down.
The Bonus Bet is paid based on the pay table.
Cards are mixed up after every hand.

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

Nota Bene: Ace, King is not a suited run

Idea: when a hand can be counted 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. In this situation, the two-cards that will be selected will result in the lowest possible score for a given hand.

The Ante Bet

After placing an Ante bet the Player is dealt 3 cards face up and the Dealer gets 3 cards face down. If the Player does not consider that their hand can beat the Dealer, the Player can Fold the hand and lose the Ante bet.

If the Player considers that the hand can beat the Dealer's hand, the Player must Raise with a bet equal to the Ante amount. After Raising, the Dealer's cards will be exposed. To succeed 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.

The Bonus Bet

The Bonus Bet is obtained if the Player's hand has 12 points or less. The Bonus Bet wager it's not measured against the Dealer's hand, being paid out based on the point total of the hand dealt. If the Player wagers on the Ante and Folds the hand the Bonus Bet wager is also lost.
