3 Card Rummy by Betsoft

Three Card Rummy is a relatively new casino table game. It falls within the poker genre of games, though the typical poker hand rules are modified considerably.

Also known as Vegas Three Card Rummy, the game is played with a 3 card hand and dealt from a standard 52 card deck. Each player enrolled at the table plays directly against the house by attempting to underscore them in order to reap cash rewards. That’s right! In order to win in this game, you need to carry a hand with less value than the dealer’s hand.

Theme, Sounds and Symbols

3 Card Rummy by Betsoft is a casino card game with a well-designed interface that boasts a high quality and high definition graphics, providing true to life-like visuals. It almost feels like you are playing at a genuine land-based casino. The wooden inlays and fine details on every piece of gaming apparatus make the game feel like it is on the premium end of quality, which it is.

The clicks and bet placements sounds are all casino generic. Should you opt to activate the sound, the dealer’s voice will guide you through each outcome.

The cards (Ace through to King) are all rendered for easy identification. Each betting chip is also identified by a different colour, to curb confusion. Betting denominations consist of chips, including 1, 5, 25, 100, and 500.

Game Mechanics

To get the game started, you will need to place your Ante Wager and your bonus wager if you opt to play the bonus game. This is done by clicking on the chosen chip denomination on the bottom left of the screen and then applying it to the betting blocks, by clicking within the wager demarcations. You can bet anywhere between 1 and 100 coins on this table.

Once the Ante is set, you can click on Deal. Three cards will then be dealt with your face up and three cards to the dealer, face down.

After evaluating your hand, you can choose to either fold (if you deem your points too high), or Raise to play (if you think you can pip the dealer). Once you Raise, your ante bet will be matched. If the dealer’s hand is 21 or more, you will automatically win, and you will receive 1:1 on the ante bet that you placed.

Bonus Features

This particular version of three-card rummy comes with an optional playable Bonus Side Bet. The house edge increases on this bet to a 3,46% advantage to the house.

Here, hands below 12 in value will be subject to wins of between 1:1 and 100:1. An Ace, 2, 3 suited runs will pay 100x your Bonus Bet placed.

Play ‘On The Go’

3 Card Rummy from Betsoft is offered in Flash format, meaning that playing from your mobile device can be problematic. The game is best suited for desktop play, via your PC or Laptop.

CasinoWow Game Verdict

3 Card Rummy is something a little different from the norm and as such, is a refreshing addition to any casino that carries the game. When played optimally without the Bonus Bet, your Return to Player ratio is as high as 98.06%, though activating the side bet will drop your winning chances, the stakes are increased for your risk-taking.
