Fourth Street (Gambling)

Meaning and Definition of Fourth Street in Gambling

The term fourth street denotes a specific procedural stage within a wagering round of poker, characterized by the distribution of a fourth card. In community card variants, such as Texas Hold’em, this corresponds to the third betting round where a fourth shared card, also known as the turn, is dealt face-up to the center of the table. In stud variants, specifically Seven-Card Stud, fourth street refers to the second betting round where players receive a fourth individual card dealt face-up. Under regulatory standards for gaming transparency, the distinction between community and hole cards at this stage must be clearly defined to ensure the integrity of hand formation and the accurate adjudication of winning outcomes.
