TRIPS is a new, fun and fast paced spin on poker. It’s a ‘No Pressure Poker’ Players don’t have the pressure or anxiety of playing poker against other experienced Players or even against the Dealer. Players simply need to make a 3 card Poker hand using their 1 dealt HOLE CARD and 2 communal cards know as the FLOP and TURN.
Here is the TRIPS twist - Players will also have the opportunity to draw another card ‘RIVER’ to create a second hand. The Player MUST use their ‘RIVER’ card and any 2 card combination from their first HOLE CARD and the 2 communal cards. Players now have 4 cards to make their second hand. This is very unique as Players have the opportunity to win twice in the one hand.
TRIPS also offers a SIDE BET that is placed at the start of the hand. This bet wins and is paid odds if the 2 communal cards, FLOP and TURN are paired. The SIDE BET increases dramatically for TRIPS (3 of a kind) with the Players HOLE CARD. (Note the River Card does not count for the Side Bet) If the Player folds after the initial deal they still have the chance of winning the SIDE BET so they are still in the game.
Players have the opportunity to place 4 Bets per hand getting plenty of chips on the felt.
