Quattro Poker
Game Mechanics & Rules
Quattro Poker is a table game in which the player receives five cards and constructs the best possible four-card hand, while the dealer receives six cards and also selects the best four. Hands are ranked using standard poker hierarchy adapted to four cards: four of a kind, straight flush, three of a kind, flush, straight, two pair, pair, high card. The player acts first without seeing the dealer's hand.
- Place your Ante wager. Optionally place an Aces Reward side bet before cards are dealt.
- You receive five face-up cards; the dealer receives six cards with one face up.
- Select your best four-card combination from your five cards.
- Choose to Raise between 1x and 3x your Ante, or Fold and forfeit the Ante.
- The dealer reveals all six cards and constructs their best four-card hand.
- Ante pays 1:1 on any winning hand regardless of dealer hand strength; Raise pays 1:1 if your hand beats the dealer's, pushes if equal, loses if the dealer wins. Aces Reward pays on any pair of aces or better regardless of the dealer result.
Bets and Payouts
Player chooses best 4-card hand from 5 cards; dealer uses 6 cards. Raise 1x / 2x / 3x, or fold. No dealer qualification. Ante Reward pays on three of a kind or better. Seven optional side bets cover Aces Reward, Queens Reward, all-colour boards, top hands, suit/colour spread, all-even, and the face-card Royal Edge ladder. Millionaire Mode adds a $1 Royal Spades ticket; main-table payouts are unchanged when MM is on.

Optimal Strategy & Analysis
The optimal raise strategy is based on hand strength relative to expected dealer distribution: always raise 3x with three of a kind or better; raise 1x with a pair of twos through pair of tens when the dealer's up card is unfavourable; fold pairs below tens if the dealer up card suggests a strong hand. Exact strategy tables factor in the dealer's exposed card.
The Aces Reward side bet operates independently of the main hand outcome. It pays on a pair of aces (1:1), two pair (3:1), straight (4:1), flush (5:1), full house - not applicable in four-card format - three of a kind (8:1), straight flush (40:1), and four of a kind (50:1). Aces Reward functions as a negative-EV supplementary wager over the long run.
Raise sizing is the primary strategic variable. Raising 3x with premium hands (three of a kind and above) extracts maximum value from strong holdings and is always correct. Raising 1x with marginal pairs when the dealer shows a low card is a net positive expectation play. Folding with no pair or a single low pair when the dealer's up card is an ace or face card reduces losses compared to a blanket call strategy.
Bankroll management should account for the medium-high volatility profile. Three-of-a-kind and above hands occur infrequently; most sessions are dominated by high-card, one-pair, and two-pair outcomes. A session bankroll of 50-100x the Ante is recommended to weather variance without exhausting funds before the hand distribution normalises.
Provably Fair Verification
Each Quattro Poker hand is resolved using a SHA-256 hash of the concatenated server seed, client seed, and nonce: SHA-256(server_seed + ':' + client_seed + ':' + nonce). The resulting hex digest is converted to a sequence of integers that index into a shuffled 52-card deck, determining card order for both player and dealer. The server seed is committed as its SHA-256 hash before the session begins, preventing post-hoc manipulation of any hand.
Players can rotate their client seed at any time between hands. Rotation ends the current server seed session and reveals the full server seed for that session, enabling complete reconstruction and verification of every hand dealt. The nonce increments with each hand within a session, ensuring unique outputs even across repeated client seed values. Independent auditors can verify any hand using standard SHA-256 implementations against WickedBet's published derivation format.
Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet that runs alongside the round; it does not reduce your main Quattro Poker payouts. The Joker never counts; only natural target-suit cards score. The chain is revealed and auditable at session close.
Millionaire Mode Technical Details
Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet added to every round. Main-table payouts are NOT reduced. Main bets must total at least $1 USD for the side bet to attach.
Each round, the cards dealt for the side bet are checked. The Royal Spades are the six top spades - 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace of spades. Every distinct Royal Spade among the dealt cards counts as one hit; a repeated rank does not count twice and the Joker never counts.
Paytable per $1 side bet: 6 hits = $1,000,000; 5 hits = $5,000; 4 hits = $325; 3 hits = $20; 2 hits = $2; 0 or 1 hits pay nothing.
The $1,000,000 prize is pre-funded and paid in a single transaction on six hits. Lower tiers pay alongside the round settlement. The Royal Spades result is independent of the main-game outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What side bets does Quattro Poker offer and what are their payouts?
Seven side bets are available: Aces Reward, Queens Reward, Colour Bonus, Pure Numbers, Suit Spread, All Even, Royal Edge. Each is an independent wager placed before the round and settles on its own outcome, regardless of the main result.
What is Quattro Poker and how does it work?
The player must choose to raise (1x-3x Ante) or fold before the dealer reveals their hand.
How does Millionaire Mode function in Quattro Poker?
Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet per round. Main-table payouts are NOT reduced. Each round the dealt cards are checked; every distinct Royal Spade - 9, 10, J, Q, K, A of spades - is one hit (the Joker never counts). Paytable: 6 hits = $1,000,000, 5 = $5,000, 4 = $325, 3 = $20, 2 = $2, 0-1 = no payout. The jackpot is pre-funded.
How can I verify Quattro Poker is provably fair?
Open the fairness panel within the game to view your current server seed hash, client seed, and nonce. Rotate your client seed to end the current server seed session and reveal the full server seed. Reconstruct any hand by computing SHA-256(server_seed + ':' + client_seed + ':' + nonce) and converting the output to card indices using WickedBet's published deck derivation algorithm. Compare reconstructed card sequences against your recorded hand history.
Which cryptocurrencies are accepted for Quattro Poker?
BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT (ERC-20/TRC-20) and BNB are all supported. Deposits credit your account in USD; every stake, payout and jackpot in Quattro Poker is denominated in USD regardless of which crypto you sent. Withdrawals return on-chain to a wallet address you nominate at cash-out time, subject to standard network confirmation.
What is the mathematically optimal strategy for Quattro Poker?
Optimal Quattro Poker strategy dictates raising 3x with three of a kind or better, raising 1x with pairs adjusted for the dealer's up card, and folding all no-pair hands against strong dealer up cards. Raise sizing has a measurable impact on expected return; under-raising premium hands is the most common source of EV loss. Aces Reward should be treated as a separate bet with its own independently assessed expected value rather than a supplement to main game strategy.
