Four Card Poker

1. Place your bet: Players begin by making a bet on the Ante spot, Aces Up spot, or both spots:
   • Ante: play against the dealer’s hand. The best four card hand wins and the player wins on a tie
   • Aces Up: play Aces Up and get paid on a pair of Aces or better.
   • Play both: play against the dealer and play Aces Up
2. Receive your cards: Each player will be dealt five cards face-down. The dealer receives six.
3. Bet a Play Wager or Fold: 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.
4. Showdown – Winning and Losing: If the player chooses to fold, the Ante bet will be lost. 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 Aces Up spot wins 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, or if the dealer has a better hand.
5. 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.

Multi-Game Progressive:

An optional side bet that links a variety of poker games to a common progressive jackpot. Made at the same time as the basic game wager, the bet pays out if your five-card hand is a three of a kind or better, regardless of the basic game outcome.

Basic Strategy: As the strategy indicates, you should fold with anything less than a pair of 3s. This means you may fold four, five or six hands in a row. Wait for a good hand before making the play bet. You have the opportunity to max out your play bet. The dealer’s average hand is a pair of 9s, so whenever you have 10s or better, you’re favoured to win.
