The object of the game is to get at least a "pair of 10s or better" from a combination of your three cards and two community cards, while keeping all three regular bets in action. The player does not actually play against the dealer or another player but rather against the odds in order to get the best five card poker hand possible.

How to Play

Let It Ride Poker uses the standard ranking of Poker hands ranging from a Royal Flush down to a Pair of 10s. You must have at least a Pair of 10s or better to win. The higher your hand is ranked, the more you will win.

Playing the Game

Initially you must place three identical bets. Each bet must be at least table minimum. You will have the opportunity to withdraw two of the three bets as the hand progresses. Your hand consists of five cards: three dealt to you and two community cards placed in front of the dealer.

Once you view your first three cards you may not like your chances of getting a winning combination, so you may remove your first bet if this is the case. If you feel that you will get a winning poker hand, or if you already have a pair of 10s or better, you can Let it Ride. After deciding to withdraw or Let It Ride, the first community card is dealt.

Taking all four cards into consideration, you must now decide what to do with your second bet: withdraw or Let It Ride. Your third and final bet cannot be withdrawn therefore; you must Let It Ride. The dealer now deals the fifth and final card. At this point the five cards will decide if you have a winning poker hand or not. Winning bets are paid out according to the payout schedule on the bottom right hand of the table.

Deal

You may begin by pressing the Deal button once a bet is placed on the table. You are dealt three cards face up and two community cards face down. Your final hand in combination with the two community cards determines if you have a winning hand.

Take Down

Press Take Down to withdraw your first or second bet. If after viewing your first three cards you don't like your chances of getting a winning hand, you may Take Down your first bet. Once the first community card is revealed to you may take down if you consider the odds unfavorable. A Take Down can be done on the first and second bet only.

All In

Pressing All In on a play will automatically bet on the first and second bet. This is useful in scenarios in which you are sure of having a wining hand. For example you have a pair of Jacks on your first three cards; you already have a winner so All In is the way to go.

Let It Ride

Press Let It Ride to play your first or second bet. If after viewing your first three cards, you have or like your chances of getting a winning hand, you may keep the bet by clicking on Let It Ride. After the first community card is revealed you still consider your odds in favor, you can "Let It Ride" on your second bet as well.

Press Re-Bet to repeat your previous wager (same bet amount) and automatically deal your next hand.
