It's Ideal to Play 3 Card Poker with iDeal
Online gamblers in the Netherlands wanting to play that popular poker variation, 3 Card Poker, had no electronic banking system to help them play before 2005.
In the year 2005 the Dutch organization, Currence, initiated the Netherlands' first internet payment method, iDeal. Together with the participating banks: ABN, AMRO, Fortis, Postbank, Rabobank and SNS Bank, iDeal is now servicing a large majority of online gamblers. It is now so much easier to log onto an online casino in the Netherlands, choose the popular 3 Card Poker game, and play with their iDeal membership.
iDeal is a real breakthrough for the very conservative banking arena of the Netherlands, and this should definitely make the Dutch online gamblers very happy. It is ever so much easier to use iDeal as a deposit for online gaming than a credit or debit card.
The iDeal system is based on online banking which means that customers can make purchases or fund casino games safely on the internet by using direct online transfers from their bank accounts. That is why it is ideal to play 3 Card Poker online with iDeal!
The 3 Card Poker Game
As its name tells you, 3 Card Poker is played with only three cards dealt to the player and the dealer. It consists of two games: "Pair Plus" and "Ante and Play". You can choose to play only one of the two in each round, or you can play them both.
In "Pair Plus" a pair or better wins the round. In "Ante and Play" you can have one more bet if you think your hand is better than the dealer's hand. You simply "raise" by placing an additional bet equivalent to the ante. In the "Ante and Play" game there is also an Ante Bonus payout which is given to the player for particularly good hand combinations and is not dependent on the value of the dealer's hand.
This game is great for beginning poker players because you play against the dealer and there is no continuous betting so that you don't experience the tension of a standard poker table. Using the iDeal system to deposit funds to the player's online casino provides for a smoother and more user friendly game.
Since there is no continuous betting in 3 Card Poker, you don't usually get into very high stakes nor will you win a tremendous amount of money. However, 3 Card Poker is a fast and lively game and very entertaining which accounts for its popularity online.
Now all you need to do is join the iDeal internet world and begin to play!
