Carnival 3 Card Poker Question

I will be sailing on the Dream next week. Was curious about their 3 card poker tables. Does anyone know what the table minimum is? Also do they do the 6-card bonus?

Thanks!

Table minimums are low - $5 is typical. Keeps the seats full! No progressive or 6-card bonuses.

Wrong Sue.. they do have the 6 card bonus now... They only allow betting $1 on it though.. maybe they will change that. And the other gotcha with it is that you must stay in the 3 card hand to win on the 6 card hand. In vegas and other land based casino I have played at, you don't have to "play" the 3 card hand. Maybe they will change this as they get more familiar with the 6 card bonus.

On the Magic in early May, they let you fold the 3 card hand and still stay in the Bonus hand. I just learned to play the game on this cruise and hit with the Ace King and Queen of Diamonds on my second day playing. I wish the dealer had the missing cards for and even bigger payoff.:D

Bonus is a 5 card bonus

Update on this- Off the Triumph last week and the 6 card bonus (which is what Vegas calls it but it is really the best 5 card hand you can make using the 6 cards -your 3 and the dealer's 3) is being played just like they do for the Vegas casinos (with the exception of the million dollar 6 card royal flush)

Meaning that you can now bet more than $1 (I was told up to a $10 max) and you do not have to stay on the 3 card bet to play the 6 card bonus bet. i.e. you can fold the 3 card hand and you put your cards under your 6 card bonus chip and that plays out after the dealer exposes their cards and pays out.

So the bet makes a little more sense to play. I am not sure it is a good bet or not as most bonus bets you are allowed do NOT favor the player....

thanks for the update!!

Sailed on the Carnival Fantasy end of May and they did not have the new tables. Sailing again on her in 2 weeks. Hoping they swapped out the tables for the new ones.
