Beat the dealer with just three cards and win up to 40:1 on the Pair Plus side bet. The 96tv Deluxe variant features the 6 Card Bonus side bet, live dealers, and instant bKash payouts.
Three Card Poker Deluxe is one of the most popular casino card games worldwide, and 96tv offers the Deluxe variant complete with multiple bonus and side bet options. Compared to standard poker, this game is far simpler — each round wraps up in just a few seconds. At 96tv in Bangladesh, its speed is a big part of the appeal: you only need three cards to make your decision, with no room for lengthy strategy.
The core rules are simple: each player and the dealer receive three cards from a standard 52-card deck. If your hand beats the dealer's, you win. However, the dealer must qualify — they need at least a Queen-high hand. If the dealer doesn't qualify, your Ante bet pays 1:1, but the Play bet pushes. In 96tv's Deluxe version, the base game is enhanced with Pair Plus, 6 Card Bonus, and Prime side bets, significantly increasing the potential for bigger payouts.
Each round begins with the Ante bet, the mandatory main wager. You may also place a Pair Plus side bet alongside it. Once the cards are dealt, you have two options: place a Play bet equal to the Ante, or Fold and forfeit the Ante. If you choose to Play, both hands are compared and the outcome is determined.
The Pair Plus side bet is completely independent — it has nothing to do with the dealer's hand. It pays out solely based on whether your own three cards form a Pair or better. Hit a Straight Flush and Pair Plus can pay up to 40:1 in the 96tv Deluxe variant. This side bet keeps every moment of the game exciting.
The most exciting feature of Three Card Poker Deluxe is the 6 Card Bonus. This side bet combines your three cards with the dealer's three cards to form the best possible five-card poker hand out of six. A payout is awarded if that hand is Three of a Kind or better. Hit a Royal Flush and you can win up to 1000:1 on this side bet.
The 6 Card Bonus side bet is available on all Three Card Poker Deluxe tables at 96tv. It can be placed in any proportion relative to the Ante. Many experienced players keep their Ante bet low and wager more on the 6 Card Bonus due to its higher payouts. That said, it is a riskier strategy — beginners should focus on the main game first.
The most important decision in Three Card Poker is whether to Play or Fold. The mathematically optimal strategy: Play on Queen-6-4 or better, and Fold on anything weaker. Sticking to this rule brings the house edge down to just 3.37%.
Prime is another exciting side bet available exclusively in the 96tv Three Card Poker Deluxe variant. The winning condition is based on card color — if all three of your cards are the same color (all red or all black), Prime Player pays 3:1. If all six cards (yours and the dealer's) are the same color, Prime Suit pays 4:1.
The great thing about the Prime side bet is that it has nothing to do with hand strength — only the color of the cards matters. So even with a weak main hand, you still have a chance to win on Prime. At 96tv, all three side bets can be played simultaneously, adding multiple dimensions to every round and creating several ways to win from a single hand.

Unlike standard poker, in Three Card Poker a Three of a Kind ranks higher than a Straight Flush, because hitting a Straight or Flush with just three cards is actually harder than hitting Three of a Kind. This differs from traditional poker hand rankings, so keep that in mind. Hand rankings are always displayed on screen at 96tv.

The most important decision in Three Card Poker Deluxe is whether to Play or Fold. Follow the mathematically proven "Q-6-4 rule":
The Pair Plus side bet carries an RTP of approximately 97.68%, which is better than the main game bet. This makes it mathematically advantageous to play consistently.
The 6 Card Bonus RTP hovers around 93%, which is relatively low. Place this bet occasionally for a shot at bigger prizes — not every round. The Prime bet offers a better RTP, so treat it as a moderate-risk side bet.
The key difference between Three Card Poker Deluxe and standard Texas Hold'em is that you're not playing against other players — you only need to beat the dealer. This removes the social pressure and keeps decision-making straightforward.
For players at 96tv who want something simpler than Texas Hold'em or Omaha, Three Card Poker Deluxe is the perfect choice. No bluffing or reading opponents required — just look at your own hand and decide.
The pace of play is fast — a single round wraps up in just 30 seconds, letting you play far more hands per hour. For players who love quick-fire gaming, this is 96tv's top poker option.
Keep in mind, though — fast gameplay means fast decisions. Set your strategy and bet limits before you start.
