It's fun because it takes no thought or skill - you can play, talk, drink at the same time - and never make a "wrong" play.
It's also fun because you can get a pretty decent payoff on a small bet, and if it happens early in your session, you can walk away with a nice win.
However, the house edge on the game itself (with optimal player strategy) is around 3 or 4% at most Vegas casinos. The house edge on the 3-card poker side bet is around 7% (but you couldn't prove it by me - to me it's around 100% lol). And the house edge on the $1 side bet is around 20%.
At non-Vegas casinos, particularly Indian casinos, the pay tables are more to the house's advantage, so the player's odds go down even more.
Bottom line: can be fun, but don't count on breaking even.
