HOW TO PLAY
Description of the game
Let It Ride is a relatively new card game that you can find in some casinos here
in Sparks as well as other gaming locations in Nevada. The game is essentially a cross
between Blackjack and Stud Poker. You play at a table that looks like a
Blackjack table where the dealer controls the play of each hand only by dealing
the cards and tracking the bets.
The game begins when the players place three equal amount bets on spots provided on the table. Once all
players have placed their bets, the dealer begins play by dealing three cards to
each player face down and two "community cards" face down. Each player looks
at his cards (he may not show his cards to the other players) and
then has a choice to take the first of his 3 bets back or to Let It Ride.
(This is what makes this game so fun! You can TAKE BACK part of your bet
if you wish!! This is the only game in town where you may do that!)
After all players have made their first choice, the dealer turns one
community card face up and the betting procedure is repeated for the 2nd of the
3 bets.
After all players have made their second choice, the dealer turns the
second community card face up revealing the final card. Each
player's hand is based on his three cards and the two community cards to form a
standard poker hand. The amount won is payed based on the total amount of the
bet remaining and a posted payout table.
What could be easier? This is a fast and fun game!
HOW TO PLAY
Place the bet:
Click on the PLACE BET button to place a single chip in each of
the three bet boxes. You may add a single chip to each bet box by repeatedly
clicking the PLACE BET button up to the total amount of chips you have (if you
only have 1 or 2 chips left, you cannot place or add to a bet).
Begin Play:
Once you are satisfied with your bet, click on the PLAY button (A
minimum bet must be made before play will begin). The dealer will deal you 3
cards and place two cards face down in the community.
BET #1:
After the cards are dealt, you may click on the RECALL BET button to
take back your first bet only or the LET IT RIDE button to let
the bet stand. After you make your choice, the first community card
is turned face up.
BET #2:
After the first community card is turned face up, you may click on
the RECALL BET button to take your second bet only back (you can
no longer touch the first bet) or the LET IT RIDE button to let the
bet stand. After you make your choice, the second community card is
turned face up.
The Payoff:
After the second community card is turned face up, you are paid based on
the resulting poker hand, the final amount of your bet and the posted pay out
table.
