Let it/em Ride Poker:

Game Overview:

Let it Ride or Let em ride as it is also known is an exciting game that when played in the land based casino creates quite a group camaraderie often reserved for the craps player. The key element is you are not having to play against the house or casino per say. The game is set up in a way that the dealer helps you get the best hand possible (a pair of tens or better and the whole table wins). So you can see how the team atmosphere can be built.

The basic game is played like this: three equal bets of usually five dollars each are placed on the table in the play circles indicated. The dealer than deals you three cards and himself two cards ( just like a poker game or video poker game 5 cards for a poker hand). Now remember you don't have to beat anyone. Each player plays their own three cards and will eventually use the dealers two cards (that are face down at this time).

This is where the game gets really fun (and profitable). After you have a chance to look at your three cards (remember the dealers cards are still face down) he will ask you if you want to let your bets ride or take one of your original three bets back. Obviously if you have a strong hand or what they call a no-brainer( pair of tens or better ) you will "let it ride". If your hand is poor you take the one bet back so now you only have two bets remaining on the table (this should be made clear that you did not fold, you are still in the game).

After your decision, the dealer will then flip over the first of his two cards giving you chance to see if the first card he has will improve your hand value. If so you want to let your final bet ride and if not you have the chance to pull back another one of your original bets that were placed on the table leaving you with only your ante bet.

After your decision is made the dealer will flip over his final card that you may use to make up your best poker hand. Any hands that have a pair of tens or greater is paid out according to the paytable.

If this sounds a little confusing don't worry we will explain in detail how the game is played as well as the other features associated with Let it Ride.
