Let it Ride Rules
Let it Ride is a very strategic poker game in terms of
betting. Its overall structure resembles that of
video poker, in that the player does not compete against
other players or the dealer. It is a rather simple
and straightforward game to learn, delivering a
theoretical Casino Edge of approximately 3.7%. For
players who use the right strategy though, Let it Ride
can deliver a large return in no time at all.
The object of the game is to achieve a five-card poker
hand with at least a pair of 10's. To begin, all
players must place three bets on the table marked in
front of each seat position with a circled 1, 2 and $
sign. There is no exception to this rule. Three
chips must be wagered, which is determined on the stake
size of the particular table. (Remember to factor this
in when managing your bankroll - Although players can
take two of these three bets back - which I will explain
shortly - many of your wagers will end up being twice or
three times as much as what you are used to betting)
Therefore, strongly consider starting off at games with
smaller stakes until you become very familiar with the
game.
Using a single 52-card deck, each player receives three
hole cards from the dealer, who also places two facedown
community cards at the center of the table. Players view
their cards and are then faced with their first
strategic decision - whether to take their Circle 1 bet
back, or leave it on the table. After all players
have made this choice, the dealer will turn over one of
the facedown community cards. Again, the players
have an option of taking back a bet - this time the
Circle 2 bet. Whether a player took back or left
their Circle 1 bet on the table does not affect how they
can play their Circle 2 bet.
The $ bet will always be played, insuring either the
casino or player win something from the game.
After the all players have acted, the second and last
community card will be revealed, and all players hands
will be inspected for winners. Remember, a pair of
10's or higher qualifies. Payouts are determined
by the payout schedule, which considers the number of
bets left on the table and the rank of the final hand.
The standard payout odds usually normally return 1:1 for
a Pair (10 or higher), 2:1 for a Two Pair, 3:1 for a
Trip, 5:1 for a Straight, 8:1 for a Flush, 11:1 for a
Full House, 50:1 for a Four of a Kind, 200:1 for a
Straight Flush and 1000:1 for a Royal Flush.
To
give you an idea how good the return on Let it Ride
poker can be, take the following example:
A
player puts three $5 bets on the table, giving a total
wager of $15. The player receives a 10, and two
3's, and decides to take back their Circle 1 bet, now
leaving $10 on the table. The first community card
reveals a 3, insuring the player has won with a trip.
Consequently, the player leaves their Circle 2 bet on
the table (they are guaranteed to win, which is the most
advantageous part of the game), and wins a total of $30
at 3 to 1 odds.
