Pair Plus
Pair Plus is an optional side wager in Three Card Poker that pays according to the player's own three cards, regardless of what the dealer holds. It settles on its own schedule, so the same dealt hand can win the side bet and lose the Ante, or the reverse.
Pricing the wager means pricing every paying hand, not just the straight flush at the top. Each row contributes its probability multiplied by its payment, and the rows add up to the overall return. Comparing [https://casinohouseedge.com/three-card-poker-house-edge/ Pair Plus paytables] row by row shows where two versions actually differ: a cut of one unit on a hand that arrives on 5% of deals removes five percentage points of return, while a much bigger cut on a hand seen once in several thousand deals barely moves the figure.
Notation trips people up here. "40 for 1" includes the original stake in the payment; "40 to 1" is profit on top of it. Two tables can print the same numbers and pay differently.
So a familiar name, or a matching top prize, tells almost nothing. Price the wager from its full schedule and the game's actual hand frequencies.
