Let It Ride Poker

Description and Objective

Let It Ride Poker is a variation of standard poker, except that the Player plays against the house and does not compete against the Dealer or other Players. Let It Ride poker is dealt from a single deck of 52 cards. The Player is dealt three cards face up and two cards are dealt face down to the dealer – these are community cards that are used to complete the player’s hand. The objective of the game is to get any winning poker hand consisting of a pair of 10’s or higher.

After placing the Ante bet, the Player decides whether or not he wants to Raise the original bet (by the same amount as the original bet), or Continue without a Raise to the next round of play. Once the Player decides to Raise or Continue, the Dealer’s first card will be shown. Now the Player has another opportunity to Raise or Continue. If he decides to Raise, the bet will again increase by the original bet amount. After the Player Raises or Continues, the Dealer’s last card is shown.

After the Dealer’s last card is shown, the Player’s hand is evaluated as a normal poker hand, combining the Player’s three cards and the Dealer’s two cards.

Player can let it ride poker win if:

The Player receives a pair of 10's or higher using all five cards shown.

Player loses let it ride poker if:

The Player does not receive at least a pair of 10's
