Game Rules

  • Objective: create the strongest four-card poker hand possible.
  • Card ranking from high to low: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. An Ace can also act as a 1 for straights.
  • Minimum players: 2 (1 player plus the dealer).
  • Played with a single simulated deck that is reshuffled after every round.
  • Players start by placing an Ante bet and a Super Bonus bet, which must be equal in size.
  • Each player is dealt 5 cards face down, then the dealer.
  • Players look at their hand and try to create the best possible hand using 4 of their 5 cards.
  • If a player doesn't like their hand, they may fold, which forfeits all bets, including side bets.
  • If the player doesn't fold, they must place an additional Play bet — up to 3x their Ante if holding a pair of Aces or better, otherwise equal to the Ante.
  • The dealer then flips their cards and creates the best 4-card hand.
  • The player's and dealer's hands are compared to determine the winner. The dealer's hand must qualify with a King or better.
  • Ante bet: pushes if the dealer doesn't qualify; wins if the dealer qualifies and the player wins; pushes on a tie; loses if the dealer qualifies and beats the player.
  • Play bet: wins if the dealer doesn't qualify; wins if the dealer qualifies and the player wins; pushes on a tie; loses if the dealer qualifies and beats the player.
  • Super Bonus bet: pays according to the pay table below if the player has a straight or better, regardless of whether they beat the dealer. If the player has less than a straight, the bet pushes when the dealer doesn't qualify, or when the dealer qualifies and the player wins or pushes; it loses only when the dealer qualifies and beats the player.
  • Ante pays 1:1. Play bet pays 1:1.
  • Super Bonus: Four Aces 200:1, Four of a Kind 30:1, Straight Flush 15:1, Three of a Kind 15:1, Flush 3:2, Straight 1:1.
  • Queens Up side bet: pays when the player has a pair of Queens or better, regardless of the outcome against the dealer — Four of a Kind 50:1, Straight Flush 40:1, Three of a Kind 7:1, Flush 4:1, Straight 3:1, Two Pair 2:1, Pair of Queens or better 1:1.
