Dear
Mark,
Could you please give a brief description of the rules
for Let It Ride? Hugh G.
Let
It Ride is based on the all-American game of five-card
stud poker.
The game begins with every player placing three equal
wagers on their individual betting circles. The object
of the game is to get a winning poker hand (10s or
better) using your three cards plus the dealers two
“community” cards. Your three cards are
dealt face down, and
the two community
cards are placed face down in front of the dealer.
After looking at your three cards, you may ask to
haveyour bet returned or “let
it ride,” depending on whether your cards
show the possibility of a winning hand. Then the
dealer’s first community card is turned over,
and again you can ask for your bet back or let it
ride. Finally, the second community card is turned
over, completing both the player’s poker hand
and the game. Your third bet, a contract wager,
is committed to play and can’t be returned.
The dealer then pays all the winning hands according
to a payout schedule. The higher the rank hand,
the greater the payoff, with a royal flush paying
1,000 to one.
The game is fairly simple, Hugh, but because 70%
of the hands are outright losers, the house edge
(3.5%) is well above my recommended maximum of 2%.
I recommend you stick with some of the better bets
that the casino has to offer.
