I believe it gets paid even if the dealer has a higher hand. Non-qualifiers pay the Ante and Play pushes. Wins are paid at 1 to 1 on the Ante/Play if the dealer qualifies.

To make a Play bet, it must equal the Ante bet. The dealer needs King/Queen high to qualify. There is the standard Ante/Play bet and an optional Jacks or Better side bet. The dealer and player each get 5 cards but make their best 4 card hand. It follows the same type of playing rules as Three Card Poker. I stopped in Horseshoe Hammond for a bit and got the rules to Play Four Poker. those Hoe cakes are SOO good, and I'm not a fan of peach cobbler, but theirs is spectacular. I have always been impressed with Horseshoe buffets, and the Paula Deen Buffet at HSI is fantastic. just a guess, but they all seem to do the promotion, all at different times. I think each property gets the machines to process it, then sends them to another property later on. Is it worth an hour wait? You decide, that's a Disney World type of wait. We stopped back at the buffet around 9:30 for dessert and coffee, and it looked seriously good. We each had a different sandwich I had a burger, Mrs had a pot roast sub, John had an Italian beef and Bard had a ribeye steak sandwich. Food in the sports bar was pretty damn good. We didn't want to wait, so we went to the sports bar. all that meant to us was that the buffet line was going to be long, and it was. There was a promotion for 'play 30 minutes get a free buffet'. It would be nice to have the choice to play with the smoke or without the smoke, rather than choose play with smoke or not play. Just ask for drink pricing before you order.The only thing we didn't like about Horseshoe was that there were no non-smoking sections. But, the HorseShoe Casino is well worth a visit. Now, would we go back? If we do visit Chicago again we probably would go back just because you can smoke, unless IL passes a new law in their Casino's. She did not let us know up front the drinks were not complimentary. But, being a Total Rewards holder and visiting locations in PA and NJ and being use to 'complimentary' drinks, it was a shock to hear the cocktail server ask for $18.00 for 2 drinks. The fact you could smoke was a nice feature. We would say not enough ticker redemption machines. The staff at the Total Rewards counter were some what happy to be at work. Plese being a 'Total Rewards' holder we thought we would get some sort of special guess treatment being that we live in MD. We didn't like or enjoy the fact you can't smoke in the IL casino's, but you can here at the Horseshoe. Figured we would drive down and visit Horseshoe Casino since it was so close. We were staying in Chicago for the Holidays.
