Four Card Poker is a table game where players compete with the dealer for four cards. The player has the best hand against the dealer and wins if his hand is higher than the dealer’s. There are three ways to play the game: independently, with the Aces Up bet, or with the Multi-Link Progressive Wager.
Before the game begins, each player must place an ante bet. They must place the ante in the same amount as the original bet. If the hand is tied, the player can raise his ante by one or three times. A player can also fold. This means the player is still in the game and if the dealer beats the premium hand, the player is paid.
After the ante is placed, the dealer is dealt five cards face down, and one of his cards is placed face up. He then receives six cards to make his own hand. All players have a chance to win the Progressive Jackpot. It is usually around five to six figures. In addition, there are optional side bets, which may be played against the pay table. One of these is the Multi-Link Progressive Wager, which is usually a $1 bet. Alternatively, there is a “bad beat” bonus wager.
When the dealer has dealt his cards, the player can choose to either place a bet on the Aces Up or to stay in the game and try to beat the dealer. The player’s best hand must be better than the house’s. Having a straight or better will give the player a Super Bonus payout. Getting a straight flush will pay 20 to 1, and getting a royal flush pays 300 to 1.
The player can place a bet on the aces up bet after he has made his ante and play bets. When playing the aces up bet, the player has a chance to win on a hand of aces or better, straight flush, and three of a kind. But the dealer can have a different hand than the player, and the player is not able to win the jackpot if the dealer has a higher hand.
Players can also try to win the Progressive jackpot by placing the multi-link progressive bet. A $1 bet is required for this bet, and it is a separate game from the main game. However, the jackpot will be awarded if the player has a winning hand of at least three of a kind.
Alternatively, a player can also place a side bet on the Queens Up. This wager pays regardless of the Dealer’s hand, and it can be lost if the player does not get a pair of Queens. Typically, this type of progressive wager pays a “Envy” bonus if another player makes a Royal Flush or Straight Flush.
Four Card Poker is an exciting game that can be played in casinos across the country. Although it is a relatively new game, it is a favorite among many poker aficionados.
