The British Casino Association, now known as the National Casino Industry Forum (NCiF) suggested that Webb gain some experience in the US first, since the UK had regulations against such a table game and his application was not strong enough to convince regulators to make significant changes to their rules and regulations for a new game. Webb established a business called Prime Table Games to market the game in both the United States and United Kingdom. It was important to Webb that he got the correct mix of three important factors for any casino game: the game rules were easy to understand, the payouts were large enough to attract players, and the house edge was enough that casino owners would be interested in adopting the game. Webb's goal was to create a version of poker that played with the speed of other table games. The casino variant of Three Card Poker was first created by Derek Webb in 1994 and patented in 1997.
