PvP casino games put players against each other instead of against the house. The operator earns a small rake from each pot, and every match has a human opponent. Vinco's Three Chances is a 1v1 card duel: draft three cards, play best of three rounds, and the winner takes the pot minus a 5% rake.
In most casino games the player bets against the house, and the house edge sets the long-run return. In a PvP game the stakes go into a pot between players, the better result takes it, and the house keeps a fixed share called the rake.
That changes the experience: there is a real opponent, decisions are about out-thinking a person, and the operator's revenue doesn't depend on players losing to the house.
A player vs player casino game can take many forms, but card games suit it best: short, readable and skill-flavoured. Among gambling card games, Three Chances is built as a card duel game: one opponent, three cards each, best of three rounds.
From a pool of 10 face-down cards, each player drafts 3. Values stay hidden until revealed.
Each round both players play one card and the higher card wins. After round 1, one blind swap is allowed for a small fee.
The player who wins the most rounds takes the pot, minus a 5% rake. Example: 10 + 10 = a pot of 20, of which 1 goes to the house.
“Three cards. Three rounds. One mind game.”
You and one opponent each draft 3 cards from a face-down pool, then play one card per round. Higher card wins the round — best of 3 takes the pot. After round 1, make one blind swap.

Glossary: PvP casino game · RTP (return to player)
A PvP (player versus player) casino game is one where players compete against each other rather than against the house. The operator earns a rake, a small share of each pot, instead of a house edge.
Three Chances, a 1v1 card duel: each player drafts three cards and the best of three rounds takes the pot. See Three Chances.
Rake is the share of each pot the house keeps; in Three Chances it is 5% of the total pot. RTP describes how much a house-banked game returns to players over time. Because PvP players play each other, Three Chances has a rake instead of an RTP.
