Let it Ride: The Other Poker Game Payout Schedule

By
J. Phillip Vogel

The goal of this game is to draw a hand that is of sufficient strength to qualify for one of the payouts. The payout schedule for this game is written on the felt in front of each player, and has a range from 1-1 for a high pair, to 1000-1 for the royal flush. Typically the lowest hand that will qualify as a winner is a pair of tens, which pays the lowest amount, 1-1.
Below is an example of the typical payout schedule for this game, but note that there may be variations depending on where you play.

Let it Ride Payout Schedule

Hand	Pay Scale
Royal Flush	1000-1
Straight Flush	200-1
Four of a Kind	50-1
Full House	11-1
Flush	8-1
Straight	5-1
Three of a Kind	3-1
Two Pair	2-1
Pair of 10's or Better	1-1

While the above payout schedule will be the most common one found, especially in the larger casinos, you might find some tables where the royal flush payout is only 500-1. Granted they are not common, but you should keep an eye out for them, as they do give even more of an edge to the house, and should therefore be avoided.
