Club World Casino is similar to another casino that we’ve reviewed — Aladdins Gold. Like Aladdins Gold, Club World has been operating out of the UK since 2004. They allow US players to sign up and play, offer free and real money games and have a no-download flash version for Mac users.
What makes them stand out a little though is their software. Because of this, I thought it’d be worthwhile to give them and their tri-card poker game a review. Take a look at what I came up with.
Club World Casino’s Tri-Card Poker
The first thing you’ll notice about Club World is that their software is different. Club World uses Real Time Gaming, but they don’t have a theme. Their software is just a clean, simple blue. Simple works though, especially for playing tri-card poker.
Their tri-card poker game is available for the no-download software. So I loaded up the browser version and played a few hands. The table min is $1 and the maximum is $100, and the chip increments are 1, 5, 25, 100 and 500.
The payouts for tri-card poker are:
Pair+ Payouts
- Straight Flush – 40:1
- 3 of a Kind – 25:1
- Straight – 6:1
- Flush – 4:1
- Pair – 1:1
Ante Bonus Payouts
- Straight Flush – 5:1
- 3 of a Kind – 3:1
- Straight – 1:1
The payout for the 3 of a Kind for the Ante Bonus Payout is a little worse than Aladdins Gold (4:1).
And similar to Aladdins Gold, they also have the same help button at the bottom of their screen. I think the games rules would be much better at the bottom of the screen, instead of a new window.
Other Games
All the standard games are available at Club World Casino, including the well-known Real Series slots. Here is a brief look at the other games that you can play:

Overall, I can recommend playing tri-card poker at Club World Casino. The only thing really worth noting is that the odds are slightly (worse) different than Aladdins Gold. Other than that, I’m sure you’ll have a good experience playing there.
