How to Play
In Four Card Poker, receive five cards to make your best four-card hand. The dealer receives six cards to make a four-card poker hand. You decide when to make the play bet and how much to bet. There are three ways to play: play vs. dealer, play aces up or play both.
Play vs. Dealer
Bet on the required ante spot to play against the dealer's hand. Best four-card hand wins. You win the ties.
If you bet on the ante wager and want to stay in the game after viewing your cards, you must make a play wager at least equal to the ante but may be up to three times the ante. It's your four-card poker hand against the dealer's four-card poker hand and the best hand wins! The ante and play bets pay even money.
Play Aces Up
Bet on the Aces Up spot and win when you're dealt a pair of Aces or better. The Aces Up bonus is always paid - even if the dealer has a better hand.
Automatic Bonuses
The top three hands in the game - four of a kind, straight flush, and three of a kind - receive an Automatic Bonus payout on ante bet. Automatic Bonuses are paid even if the dealer has a better four-card hand.
