Let It Ride Poker

Let it ride is a poker variation of 5-card stud poker. The game is played on a table similar to blackjack and has a potential for high payouts. You play against a pay schedule, that is; your primary and only goal is to get a good poker hand.

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. After the player receives his/her cards the dealer discards one card leaving two cards face down in front of the dealer.

To start with, each player makes three bets of equal amount and places them on the three bet circles 1, 2, $. The Bonus bet on the bonus circle is an optional side bet and is normally $1. Then the dealer gives the player three cards and takes two community cards, all placed face down. At this point the player has the option to take back the bet in circle number one or Let It Ride. 

After all the players have made their decisions the dealer will turn up the first of the two community cards which is in front of the dealer. This card is used as the fourth card for the players' hands. You now have the option of taking down your second bet or Let It Ride irrespective of your first decision 

After the player makes his/her decision for the second bet, the dealer will turn up the second community card, which completes the five-card hand for the player. At this point the dealer will pay all the winning bets. Players without paying hands lose whatever bets still remain in play. 

Winners are paid based on hands that have a pair of 10s or better with a pair of 10s paying even money. All other higher-ranking hands refer to pay schedule
