Hard Eight Poker™, it's a legend in the makings

The Game

Three Card Poker has long held popularity with its blend of Blackjack and Poker elements, drawing players from around the world. Hard Eight Poker™ builds on that foundation, delivering a fresh, one-of-a-kind card game from Wagercomms — where players bet on red or black, chase combinations of eights, and compete for a progressive jackpot.

The core of the game is simple yet strategic: the player bets on Red or Black and aims to build the best possible three-card poker hand. With an optional insurance feature, the player may also add the dealer’s face-up card to improve their own hand. Payouts multiply on combinations like Eights, Hard Eight, and Pair of Eights, and the jackpot is triggered when both player and dealer hold a pair of eights.

Hard Eight Poker delivers premium, first-class gameplay — with multiple payout tiers, insurance betting, and jackpot-driven excitement. From solo play to multiplayer mode, each participant plays independently, with no player-versus-dealer competition. In fact, the dealer’s cards can assist the player when insurance is active — a distinctive edge that sets this game apart.

Hard Eight Poker by Wagercomms — a powerful new entry in the evolution of casino card games.
