Four Card Poker ™
- Four Card Poker is
a poker game that uses a standard deck of 52 cards, which is reshuffled between each
game.
- The Player's best
four card hand competes against the House's best four card hand. The House always qualifies for
each game round.
- The Player
starts out by placing a bet on the Ante bet area.
- The Aces Up
bet is optional. This bet can only be placed after making an Ante bet and before the cards are
dealt.
- After all
bets are made, the cards are dealt.
- The Player
is dealt five cards, and the House is dealt six cards, of which five are placed face
down.
- The Player
then has the choice to make one of the Play bets or to Fold.
- There are
two Play bets available. The Player can choose either to bet a Play bet equal to 1x Ante or 3x
Ante.
- If the
Player chooses to Fold, the Ante bet will be lost.
- If the
Player’s 5 cards contain 4 Aces then the Fold button is disabled as the player cannot
lose.
- If the
Player has any of the hands required for the Ante Bonus and a Play bet has been made, then they
will be paid out regardless of the House's hand.
- The Ante
Bonus payouts are multiple of the Ante Bet.
- If the
Player makes a Play bet, the House’s cards are revealed and the best four card hands are
compared.
- If the
Player has a better four card hand than the House, or the hands are tied, the Ante and Play bets
both pay 1:1.
- If the House
has a better four card hand than the Player, the Player loses both Play and Ante bets.
- The Aces Up
bet pays out based on the Player’s best four card hand.
- The Aces Up
bet is evaluated regardless of if the Player makes a Play bet or chooses to Fold.
- For all bets,
4-card hands are ranked from highest to lowest as follows:
-
Four of a
Kind
- (Contains
four cards of the same rank)

- When evaluating
