Players in the poker room may have noticed some loud, boisterous cheering recently, coming from just outside the rails...don't worry though, those are just winners from one of the three new table games!!! At the beginning of February, the Isle Casino Pompano Park saw the return of "3-Card Poker," along with the introduction of "Ultimate Texas Hold'em" and "One-Card Poker" (otherwise known at "Casino War").

| "3-Card Poker "Makes Its Triumphant Return |
Riding the wave of player interest across the country, Isle Casino Pompano Park now offer's "Florida's version" of Three-Card Poker. The game is played against a "player banker," opposed to the "house," and offers the prospect of some pretty large payouts. The gameplay is easy to learn, as players are dealt three cards, with the objective of the game to beat the dealer's hand. The hand rankings are the same as tradition poker (pairs, three-of-a-kind, flushes, straights, straight-flushes, mini royal), with one small twist in the rankings (straights beat flushes in three-card poker). For those looking for the rules to the game prior to playing, they can be found on a flyer in the poker room, on the actual table, or you can ask available staff for help.
One of the most appealing features of this game here at the Isle is the "minimum bet." Players at the table can wager anywhere from $5 to $500, making the game affordable to most anyone. The $5 minimum wager is something that players won't find at many casinos, and allows those at the table to play at their own pace. Three-card poker (one table) get's the cards in the air at 11:00am, and runs through the close of the casino.

| Texas Hold'em Is Even Better When It's "Ultimate" |
What's better than Texas Hold'em? Ultimate Texas Hold'em...a game that was introduced to casinos across the country years ago, and has really taken off in terms of popularity. It's very similar to the Texas Hold'em that's played in the neighboring poker room, with those at the table getting two cards (including a "dealers" hand), along with a flop, turn, and river (five-card community board). The object of the game is to beat the dealer's hand, with all of the "rules of the game" found on a flyer in the poker room, on the actual table, or you can ask available staff for help.
If the $5 minimum bet seemed attractive from the Three-Card Poker, then the $3 minimum at Ultimate Texas Hold'em becomes even more appealing. Once again, it's an example of the Isle Casino Pompano Park setting itself apart from the "field." Players have the opportunity to enjoy the game for an extended period of time, while comfortably wagering any amount between $3-$300. There are currently (2) Ultimate Texas Hold'em tables located just across from the cashier (next to the Three-Card Poker table), with action getting underway at 11:00am each day.
