How it works

Pair Plus pays according to your three-card hand, independently of dealer qualification. Three-card straights outrank flushes. A-2-3 and Q-K-A count as straights; K-A-2 does not.

The 40-30-6-3-1 paytable gives a 7.276% house edge; changing the flush payout from 3 to 4 lowers it to 2.320%.

One complete 52-card deck, no wild cards. This calculates Pair Plus only, not Ante/Play or Six Card Bonus. A losing hand has zero gross return.

RTP = Σ [hand combinations / C(52,3)] × (profit payout + 1)
