Let It Ride Rules

Rate This Article

Players try to achieve a pair of tens or higher with up to three bets ‘riding’.

Players do not compete against the dealer or other players. Instead, players win based on the strength of their poker hand. All the players combine their three dealt cards with two community dealer cards.

Payout Table Pair 10s or better – 1:1 (player wins their money back plus the same amount again, effectively doubling their bet). Two Pairs – 2:1 Three-of-a-kind – 3:1 Straight – 5:1 Flush – 8:1 Full House – 11:1 Four-of-a-kind – 50:1 Straight Flush – 200:1 Royal Flush – 1000:1

The Bets Each player makes three bets of equal amounts in three spaces marked ‘1’, ‘2’ and ‘$’. Each player is then dealt three cards, and two community cards are dealt face-down.

Round 1Players may cancel their bet in ‘1’, or he can ‘let it ride’ and stay in play. Once the player has chosen to ‘let it ride’, the bet must stay there until the game’s end. Also, if a player withdraws their bet, it stays out of play.

Round 2 The dealer then flips over one of the community cards.

Players now choose to withdraw their ‘2’ bet or ‘let it ride’. Players can choose either, whether or not they chose to ‘let it ride’ or withdraw his ‘1’ bet.

Final Round The ‘$’ bet always stays in play, so player do not decide to ‘let it ride’ or withdraw it.

The dealer turns over the second community card. Players now know their final hand (their 3 cards plus the 2 community cards).

Showdown If a player’s 5-card hand is not a pair of tens or better, the dealer collects the ‘$’ Circle bet and any bets that the player did not withdraw.

If a player does have a pair of tens or better, the dealer pays the ‘$’ bet and any others left in play, according to the payout table.
