4-Card Fever

How to play 4-card fever

Read the rules below.

Four Card Fever is a card game that uses a standard 52-card deck. At the beginning of the game, players must place a mandatory Ante wager, and may also place an optional Player Bonus side wager and progressive wager. After all wagers have been placed, the dealer will deal each player five cards face down. The dealer will also deal themselves six cards, with five cards being face down and one card being face up. After reviewing their cards, players must either place a Play wager between one and three times their Ante wager, or fold and forfeit their Ante wager.

Once all wagering decisions have been made, all cards at the table will be revealed.  The player will make their best four-card hand from their five cards, which will be compared to the dealer’s best four-card hand from their six cards.

If the player ties or beats the dealer’s hand, then the Ante and Play wagers will both win and pay 1 to 1. If the player’s hand loses to the dealer’s hand, then the Ante and Play wagers are lost. Wagers must be made in increments of $5.

RANKING OF HANDS:
4-of-a-Kind / Straight Flush / 3-of-a-Kind /Flush / Straight / 2 Pair / Pair / High Card

Note: If a hand does not contain a pair or better, the hand that contains the highest ranking card(s) wins. Ace is high except in 4-3-2-A sequence.
