Crazy 4 Poker Rules
A hand of Crazy 4 Poker starts with placing an equal amount on the Ante and Super Bonus. Both bets are required. Any other bets on the table are optional. Available ones include Queens Up, Diamondz, and a progressive royal flush.
The player and dealer each receive five cards. Only the best four cards are used. The fifth one is discarded.
A player decides to fold or make a Play wager. The amount of this raise is equal to the Ante. However, it can be up to three times the Ante if the player holds at least a pair of aces. A fold ends the hand. The Ante and Super Bonus automatically lose.
The dealer needs at least king-high to qualify. If the dealer does not qualify, the Ante pushes. The Play bet is still in action. It plays with the Raise as described below if the dealer qualifies. Crazy 4 Poker hands are ranked using the following list:
- Four of a kind
- Straight flush
- Three of a kind
- Flush
- Straight
- Three of a kind
- Two pair
- Pair
- High card
The dealer’s hand is shown. The dealer’s best four cards are compared to the player’s best four cards. If the dealer wins, the Raise (and Ante if the dealer qualifies) loses. When the player’s hand is better, the Raise (and Ante if the dealer qualifies) win. If the dealer and player have the same hand, these bets push.
