Three Card Rummy

Three Card Rummy deals three cards face up to the player and three to the dealer. Number cards count at face value, face cards at ten and Aces at one. Unlike high-hand poker, the aim is a low total after the game's allowed combinations are evaluated. Players choose whether to continue against the dealer's concealed cards. The dealer must qualify with a total of twenty or fewer before the main comparison applies. The short hand makes the decision quick: assess three visible cards, decide on the additional bet and reveal whether the dealer's result is lower or higher.
