Triple Poker roulette side bet

Triple Poker is a roulette side bet made by Fazi, a provider of live dealer games for Internet casinos. The game itself, Triple Crown, has three concentric rings of 37 numbers and one ball. The normal roulette bets are actually three bets, one on each ring. There is also a Triple Poker bet, based on the poker value of the three numbers.

The question for the poll is would you make the Triple Poker bet if playing anyway? Multiple votes allowed.



In the image above, the winning numbers were 18, 36, and 16. The Triple Poker would have paid for a flush with all outcomes red.

Well, the fourth, and and particularly fifth, poll choices pretty much describe how I feel. 😡

There are a couple minor differences between this and my game: Poker For Roulette.

1- In my game 0 (and 00, and 000) are wild. So in my game, 0-1-2 IS a straight.

2- My game assumes a standard roulette wheel, and waiting for 3 spins to get a resolution. This improves on that, and removes a problem I had of protecting the bet while waiting for the 2nd and 3rd spin.

I’ll have to mention this to my lawyer...

Do the three rings lock into place first followed by the ball landing or vice versa?

The poker bet seems simple enough but how does a regular roulette wager work? If I want to make a $10 bet on "even", do I actually have to wager $30, $10 for each ring?

No. They are still spinning independently when the ball is released. How, mechanically, the wheels lock together at some points, I don't know.

Yes, I believe that is how it works. I didn't actually play and am going off the instructions. They express the odds on a "for one" basis. To a 3*$10 bet on even would pay:

60 for 3 evens
40 for 2 evens
20 for 1 even
0 for 0 evens

Can you guys see the game here?

Does it get worse than a poker side bet for a roulette game?

Not sure about this system, but I’ve seen and felt a double ring wheel at G2E - two results on one ball.

When the wheels were spinning independently, in opposite directions, you could hear a clicking sound. With a soft touch, you could even feel it.

This click was something unseen that forces the ring and wheel to be correctly aligned. IE, no half alignments. This alignment happened rather quickly, usually before the ball started to come out of the groove.

All I could think while listening to it was that there’s probably some serious wear and tear issues.

It’s a TCS John Huxley product, but I couldn’t find it on their website. It USED to be there - that should tell you something.

However, I did find a news article about it: https://www.casinonewsdaily.com/roulette-guide/double-action-roulette/

It’s just a side bet that almost resembles 3 card poker. No real poker knowledge required.

But, yeah, it can get worse. I’ve seen Roulette site bets that used actual cards to include a poker element.
