This “Play” wager must be equal in size to the Ante bet you’ve already put up – except when you hold one pair of aces or better.
When you have decent cards, the other option is to raise or “play,” in which case you’ll be required to post an additional bet in order to continue.When you hold junk, you may elect to fold, and when you do, you’ll simply forfeit the hand straight away and surrender your pending wagers to the house.The player’s cards are dealt face up, while the dealer also takes a five-card hand dealt face down.Īt this point, each player will assess the relative strength of their five cards, attempting to make the best possible four card poker hand.
Once all players have placed their Ante and Super Bonus bets, along with the Queens Up side bet if they choose, the dealer will then distribute five cards to each player. The game begins once each player has placed the mandatory wagers on both the Ante and the Super Bonus betting circles these mandatory bets must be of equal size.Īt this time, players may also opt to wager on the Queens Up side bet (which will be explained in greater detail later in this section).
