Let It Ride

Overview:
Let It Ride is a game similar to poker with predetermined winning ratios versus players bets. Each player is playing a one-on-one game with the casino. If the player understands poker, this game is relatively easy to learn. Most casinos have a progressive Royal Flush jackpot, and limits between casinos do exist.

Synopsis:
Played on a blackjack sized gaming table, Let it Ride is a form or poker with a twist. Players make three bets prior to the starting of the game, in equal amounts. Players then receive three cards dealt face down. Then two card are dealt face down in the center of the table, these are community cards.

If the player is not satisfied with the potential of the three cards dealt to them, they can remove one of the three bets. Next the dealer turns one of the community cards face up. Now, the player has the option to remove the second bet if the total of the four cards have not produced a probable winning poker hand. The second bet is independent of the first bet, regardless of whether each player did or did not remove the first bet. The remaining community card is turned over and the payoff for winning hands is listed below.
