CRAZY 4 Poker

About the Game

Crazy 4 Poker is an easy game to master. It offers all the exciting elements of Three Card Poker and features new rules, betting options and a higher payout.

How to Play

You receive five cards to make your best four-card poker hand. A four-card straight is a straight; a four-card flush is a flush, etc.

Ranking of Hands

Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, Three of a Kind, Flush, Straight,Two Pair, Pair, and High Card. Note: Ace is high except in a 4-3-2-A sequence.

Player vs. Dealer

Make equal bets on the Ante and Super Bonus spots. After seeing your cards, you can fold or stay in the game by making the Play wager. The Play wager must match your Ante unless you have a pair of Aces or better. If you have at least a pair of Aces, you may bet up to three times your Ante. The dealer qualifies with King-high or better.

When you beat the dealer’s qualifying hand, your Ante and Play bets win even money. When the dealer qualifies, your Ante and Play bets lose. When the dealer does not qualify your Play bet wins and Ante pushes. Super Bonus and Queens Up are Resolved normally.

Super Bonus

The Super Bonus wins when you have a straight or better. Failure to get at least a straight, however, does not result in an automatic loss. The Super Bonus pushes when you have less than a straight, but you beat or tie the dealer’s hand. If your hand of a straight or better loses to the dealer, you still receive the Super Bonus payout. In addition, your original Super Bonus is not removed.

Queens Up

The Queens Up is an optional bonus bet that wins when you receive a pair of Queens or better. Note: Winning Super Bonus and Queens Up wagers are paid regardless of the dealer’s hand.

Strategy Guide

Crazy 4 Poker is an easy game to master. You decide when to stay in the game by making the Play wager. According to math analysis, the lowest hand you play is:

King-Queen-Eight

That’s all you have to remember. Hands like King-Queen-Ten or Ace-high are not powerful, but they are worth playing because the dealer may not qualify and folding cost you both your Ante and Super Bonus wagers.

Why Fold?

Hands lower than King-Queen-Eight are so unlikely to win, you should fold. Since the dealer qualifies about 85% of the time, “bluffing” usually backfires. By following this strategy, you will fold about 23% of the time. This is far lower than in most poker-style table games.

Tripling Down

This is one of the strongest rules ever on a table game. If You have a pair of Aces or better, you may bet up to three times the Ante. Take full advantage of this. On average, you will triple down 19% of the time and win 91% of those hands.

Super Bonus

The Super Bonus wager wins when you have a straight or better. Four Aces pays a premium. The Super Bonus pushes when you have less than a straight, but you beat or tie the dealer. If you follow the folding strategy, you should win 62% of the showdowns against the dealer. So when you stay in the game, the Super Bonus wins or pushes more than it loses.
