RANKING OF HANDS
Four-of-a-Kind, Straight Flush, Three-of-a-Kind, Flush, Straight, Two Pair and Pair.
PLAYER VS. DEALER
Four Card Poker Progressive begins with a player making a wager on the Aces Up, Ante, or both. Each player receives five cards, face-down, and makes the best 4-card hand. The dealer receives six cards, and makes the best 4-card hand. One of the dealer’s cards is dealt face up. The dealer always qualifies and the best four card poker hand wins. The player wins all 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. The Play wager has to be 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 4-card poker hand, and the best hand wins. The Ante and Play bets pay even money.
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 the Ante bet. See table for odds. Automatic bonuses are paid even if the dealer has a better four card hand.
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.
PROGRESSIVE
Four Card Poker Progressive is an optional progressive side bet.
The bet considers the best hand possible among all 5 cards dealt to the player, not just the player’s 4-card hand that is in play.
The pay tables shown have been designed to work on a link with different games all linked together. These pay tables all define a 5-card winning hand from a standard 52 card deck. This progressive is linked to Mississippi Stud.
The meter will be reseeded when the 100% award hits.
To begin each round, players must make their regular game’s wager. They may optionally place any side bet wagers and the progressive wager. Players must place the progressive wagers on the sensor in front of their betting position. The sensor will light up.
The dealer then follows house procedures for dealing the regular game.
The dealer reconciles the standard wager and side bet wager using the best 4-card hand. The dealer reconciles the progressive wager using all 5 cards dealt to the player. All hands are resolved at the same time. Folded hands do NOT qualify for payouts on the progressive wager.
Envy Bonus
A player making the progressive side wager also qualifies to win an envy payout. If another player at the table hits a hand associated with an envy pay, all other players who made the progressive side bet win the envy pay. The player hitting the hand receives the normal prize pay only, but does NOT receive the envy pay. Rule of thumb: You can’t win an Envy Bonus pay from yourself or the dealer. Envy Bonuses should only be paid to players at the table where the qualifying hand occurred.
PROGRESSIVE PAYOUTS
Progressive winners are determined from all five cards dealt to the player. The top award—100% of the jackpot—pays when you have a Royal Flush. Any other Straight Flush pays 10% of the jackpot. Folded hands do not qualify for payouts on the Progressive wager. The top two hands trigger Envy Bonuses—you must qualify by playing the Progressive wager. You win if any other player gets a Royal Flush or a Straight Flush. See pay table for odds. You can win multiple Envy Bonuses in a round, but you cannot win Envy Bonuses for your own hand or the dealer’s hand.
