3-Card Poker is a casino table game and, while it does have the name 'poker' in its title, it isn't exactly the same game. The poker hand rankings used are the same as in standard poker variations with a major exception - straights and flushes are reversed. That means in 3-Card Poker a straight BEATS a flush. Then, I generate a score based on these numbers. For instance, if I get a result of 1,2,3,4,5 then that would equal a zero score, but if I got 1,1,3,4,5 that would be 1 as we have a pair. Similar to a poker kind of scoring, so five of the same number would be a 'full house' thus resulting in the highest score. Many variations of scoring are in common use; refer to the external links for more information. The most common scoring system used in Open-face Chinese poker is the 1-6 scoring method. In the 1-6 method the players receives 1 unit for each hand they win, and 3 bonus units if they win all three hands from a player known as a scoop. The scoring system works as follows: first you will compare the lines between you and your opponent.
