3Card Pro Review

When I first opened this application, I was a little skeptical, first because I had never played this type of poker before, and second because I know how hard it is to pull off a great and realistic poker game. Boy, was I impressed with what I saw.

picture-212Being a complete beginner to 3 Card Poker, the game was difficult at first but intriguing. After a couple of minutes of learning the rules and overview of the game, I was pleasantly surprised with how fun and simple this new game was. In 3 Card Poker, you are essentially playing two games at once, the Ante-Play game, and the Pair Plus game. They are both played the same way, but the Pair Plus game requires you to have a pair or better to win. It is hard to describe the gameplay, but it is essentially stud poker with the simplicity and quickness of blackjack thrown in. If you are a fan of either of those games, I recommend that you learn this new poker game right away.

Now, down to the actual application. Three Card Pro is a great and faithful rendition of 3 card poker, and it is great fun. Graphically, it is one of the best card games I have seen. When you first open the app you will see the nice and simple menu screen with a live feed ticker at the bottom giving you news and info about what the developer is up to. There are five buttons on the screen: Play, which obviously allows you to play the game; My Profile, which allows you to observe the local leaderboard and the statistics, which range from hands played to your average wager; Mastering The Game, which will teach you the rules, history, and payouts of the game; Preferences, where you can change many things like sounds, card color, etc.; and finally Play More Games, which will link you to the appstore to buy more of this company’s games.

The sounds in this game are great and don’t become annoying or ruin the game. There is no music, yet you can remedy that by playing your own tunes.

Controlling this game is a breeze, the tapping in this game is perfect and you will never accidentally hit something or have it not register.

Overall, the only bad thing I have to say about this game is the steep price tag. Here’s what I recommend: Try a version of this game on the internet, see if you like this gameplay, and if so, buy this app. This is the best version of 3 Card Poker on the app store, and if you are a fan of the game, let nothing stop you from having this on your device.

THE GOOD
——————————
Sleek interface
Easy to learn gameplay
Many customizable options

THE BAD
——————————-
Hefty price

  6. jacksonitup says:

    hmmmm….3 card poker….never played it before but it seems fun. There are other card games out there for $5 so this isnt that expensive. It also looks like it has a nice degree of polish.

    Though gambling is a vice, the polished graphics attract me to this game even though my brain says otherwise – telling me not to gamble.

    But hey, this is gambling without real money. It will not hurt my pocket anyway.

    virtual poker is all the fun of real poker minus the whole going broke and crying in the corner of your hotel room…which i have never done! ;) looks good

  12. coldfusion says:

    ive never played 3card poker but it seems like an interesting poker game. It may have a steepish price but its looks like a high quality game. Great Graphics for a card game.

  13. worldcup1100 says:

    $5 for a card game??? This game better be good for that price point. In my opinion a card game should top out at 2 maybe 3 dollars.

    Sorry for the rant, sounds like it is good but…

  14. irene1975y says:

    The in-game graphics are very clear. I am surprised this game runs on ipod touch lst generation. The game setting works as if I am siting down in a casino playing real cards!

  15. xpiredcoupon says:

    3 card poker is a very good game, but it is a table game (play against the dealer) so the house has an advantage

    very clear quality tho

  16. stefanos says:

    looks cool, but a little pricey.id love to try it.

  17. Jett says:

    this game seriously have some of the best quality i have seen in an iPhone game, not even the screens do it justice.

  18. Master Shake says:

    The interface does look great but the price is steep.

  19. Lux Ambassador says:

    Graphically, this looks great. But yeah, without a price drop the only way this is getting onto MY phone is if I happen to win a copy (*hint hint*)

    :-)
