Let It Ride

This casino game is really interesting and beginners will soon start to pick up the rules.

How To Play

1. Let it Ride begins starts with each player making three bets of the same size. The dealer gives every player three cards, and two community cards are placed face down.

2. After viewing their first three cards each player has the choice to take one of their three bets back or to "let it ride" and leave it out.

3. The dealer then turns over one of the two community cards. Each player now has the choice to either pull out another bet or "let it ride." The player can leave their bet in or take it out the second time regardless of their first decision.

4. Finally the second community card is turned round and the players are paid according to the hand they possess.

Working It Out

With three cards you should only "let it ride" if you have:

· Any paying hand (tens or better, three of a kind)
· Any three to a royal flush
· Three suited cards in a row except 2-3-4, and ace-2-3
· Three to a straight flush, spread 4, with at least one high card (ten or greater)
· Three to a straight flush, spread 5, with at least two high cards

With four cards you should only "let it ride" if you have:

· Any paying hand (tens or better, two pair, three of a kind)
· Any four to a royal flush
· Any four to a straight flush
· Any four to a flush
