Introduction
Four Card Frenzy and its twin Crazy 4 Poker are four-card poker-based games in which the object is to have a higher-ranking poker hand than the dealer. Both games have a raise or fold decision after the player cards are revealed. Four Card Frenzy made its Nevada debut at the Santa Fe Station on January 17, 2018. It offers a low Element of Risk and a very simple strategy.
Rules
If you're already familiar with Crazy 4 Poker and just want to know how Four Card Frenzy differs, scroll past the rules.
- Play starts with the player making equal bets on the Ante and Odds bets. The player may also bet on the 4 Card Bonus and Prime side bets at this time.
- Following is the ranking of hands from highest to lowest:
- Four of a kind
- Straight flush
- Three of a kind
- Flush
- Straight
- Two pair
- Pair
- Four singletons
- All players and the dealer get five cards each.
- The player may fold or raise.
- If the player folds, then he forfeits the Ante and Odds bets. Any side bets still have action.
- The Raise bet may be up to three times the Ante bet, if the player has at least a pair of aces. Otherwise, the Raise bet must be exactly equal to the Ante bet.
- Players then make their best four-card poker hand, and discard the fifth card.
- After all decisions have been made, the dealer will turn over his cards and select the best four out of five.
- The player's hand shall be compared to the dealer's hand, the higher hand winning.
- For purposes of the Ante and Raise bets, the dealer needs at least a king high to open. If the dealer can't open the Ante will push and the Raise will win.
- The Ante bet pays as follows:
- Dealer does not open: Ante pushes.
- Dealer opens and player wins: Ante wins.
- Dealer opens and ties: Ante pushes.
- Dealer opens and dealer wins: Ante loses.
- The Raise bet pays as follows:
- Dealer does not open: Raise wins.
- Dealer opens and player wins: Raise wins.
- Dealer opens and ties player: Raise pushes.
- Dealer opens and dealer wins: Raise loses.
- The Odds bet pays as follows. It is not pertinent whether or not the dealer opens.
- Player has straight or higher and player wins: Odds bet wins.
- Player has straight or higher and dealer wins: Odds bet wins and pays more than for a win, known as the Beat Beat Bonus.
- Player has less than straight and wins or pushes: Odds bet pushes.
- Player has less than straight and loses: Odds bet loses.
Following is the pay table for the Odds bet. All wins are on a 'to one' basis.
Odds Bet Pay Table
Player Hand | Player Wins | Dealer Wins |
---|---|---|
Four aces | 200 | n/a |
Four 2-K | 30 | 100 |
Straight flush | 15 | 50 |
Three of a kind | 2 | 4 |
Flush | 1.5 | 3 |
Straight | 1 | 2 |
There are a few differences between Crazy 4 Poker and Four Card Frenzy, as follows:
- What is called the Play bet in Crazy 4 Poker is called the Raise bet in Four Card Frenzy.
- What is called the Blind bet in Crazy 4 Poker is called the Odds bet in Four Card Frenzy.
- Instead of a Super Bonus, as in the case of Crazy 4 Poker, the player is paid at a premium on the Odds bet if he has a winning or losing flush or higher. With a flush or higher, the player is paid more on the Odds bet for losing than winning, known as a Bad Beat Bonus.
- In Crazy 4 Poker, the Blind bet automatically pushes if the dealer doesn't qualify. In Four Card Frenzy, if the player loses to a non-qualifying dealer hand, the Odds bet loses. Note that if the player is following either the optimal or KQ84 strategy below this rule would never come into play, because the player would never play a queen high or less.
Example
In the image at the top of the page I bet $5 each on the Ante and Odds bets. My best four cards formed a flush so I made the maximum $15 raise. The dealer opened with a pair of fours. My flush beat the dealer's hand so my Ante and Raise each paid even money. My winning Odds bet paid 3 to 2, or $7.50. Thus, my total win was $5 + $15 + $7.50 = $27.50.
Strategy
Optimal strategy would be tedious and complicated to memorize. However, the player can get extremely close to it with this simple strategy below.
Card Frenzy In Darien Yelp
- Make large raise when allowed (pair of aces or higher).
- Make small raise with K-Q-8-4 or higher.
- Fold all other.
The increase in house edge with the KQ84 strategy, compared to optimal, is 0.000089%.
Analysis
The next table shows the number of combinations for all possible outcomes under optimal strategy. The bottom right cell shows that the player can expect to lose 2.71% of the Ante bet for every hand played, compared to the size of his Ante (or Odds) bet. For example, if the player started with $100 on both the Ante and Odds, then he could expect to lose $2.71, assuming optimal strategy.

The bottom right cell of the table above shows a house edge of 2.71%. This is the ratio of the expected player loss to the Ante bet. One might argue that since the Odds bet is required that I should define the house edge as the expected loss to the sum of the required starting bets. However, in the interests of consistency with how the term is defined in other games, I choose to base the house edge on the Ante only. So, for every $100 you bet on the Ante you can expect to lose $2.71 between the Ante, Raise, and Odds combined.
Overall, the player has a 18.56% chance of making a big raise, 57.91% for a small raise, and 23.54% for folding, for an average final wager of 3.14 (I love that number) units. Thus, the element of risk of the game (ratio of expected loss to average total bet) is 2.71%/3.14 = 0.86%.
The standard deviation is 13.43, based on the Ante bet.

NEWS: Rugby Football Union officials appear to just continue paying lip service, despite the outcry over the ongoing surge in red-card offences.
Seasoned Exeter hooker Jack Yeandle has been banned for just three weeks, following his red card during the Chiefs’ Premiership defeat to Sale Sharks last Friday.
The forward was shown a red card by referee Karl Dickson in the 26th minute of the match for dangerous play in a ruck or maul, contrary to World Rugby law 9.20a.
Yeandle accepted the charge and was given a three-week suspension by the RFU disciplinary panel – comprising Jeremy Summers (Chairman), Mitch Read and Tony Wheat.
He is free to play on March 23.
At the hearing, Exeter forward Yeandle gave his opinion as to what had happened at the AJ Bell.
“My intention was to get to the breakdown as soon as I could and to clear past the ball,” he told the hearing.
“What I intended to do was to get my left arm underneath Sale No.2 [Curtis Langdon] and then go over Ollie Devoto with the intention of protecting the ball.
“I accept the offence on the basis that my action in entering the breakdown with my left arm not extended was reckless.”
In reaching their decision to suspend Yeandle from Exeter’s upcoming matches against Bath, Harlequins and Leicester, their short judgment form stated: “The panel followed the mandatory mid-range entry point required for foul play involving contact with the head.
“The panel found no grounds in the offending that necessitated a top-end entry point assessment.

“The Panel had no hesitation in finding that the offence arose from a poorly-exceuted attempted clear out, which was devoid of any malice.
“This was a reckless act where no injury resulted.”
While Yeandle was sent-off, Langdon went on to score the decisive 70th minute try in the 25-20 win for Sale.
