Let it ride is a poker variation. The object of the game is to
get a pair of 10s or better using three cards dealt to the
player and two "community" cards given to the dealer. In this
game everyone plays against the casino.
To start with, each player makes three bets of equal amount.
Then the dealer gives each player three cards and takes two
community cards placed face down. After seeing their first three
cards each player has the choice to take one of their three bets
back or to leave it out and 'let it ride'.
Then the dealer turns over one of the two community cards, which
apply to all hands on the table, and each player has the option
to take out another bet or to 'let it ride'. The player may
leave their bet in or take it out the second time irrespective
of their first decision.
The dealer then shows the second community card. Winners are
paid based on hands which have a pair of 10s or better with a
pair of 10s paying even money, as follows:
Tens or better 1 to 1 Two pair: pays 2 to 1 Three of a kind:
pays 3 to 1 Straight: pays 5 to 1 Flush: pays 8 to 1 Full house:
pays 11 to 1 Four of a kind: pays 50 to 1 Straight flush: pays
200 to 1 Royal flush: pays 1,000 to 1 House advantage 3.5%
