So you\u2019ve made your way into a casino. You see the slots, the big jackpot games, the seductive Roulette wheel. But, wait. You know exactly where you\u2019re going: to the Let It Ride table. Because once you know the right let it ride strategy for playing this lucrative game, you won\u2019t want to play anything else.<\/p>\n\n
In Let It Ride, your goal is to make the best five card hand possible. You start by placing your bet. You are then dealt three cards face-up. The Dealer holds on to the other two cards, which are left face-down. After seeing your three card hand, you can decide to wait to see the Dealer\u2019s cards, or you can \u201clet it ride\u201d and match your original bet. After the first card is revealed, you can choose to see the next card, or you can let it ride for a second time, and place a third bet. If your final hand is a pair of 10s or better, you win. If not, the House wins.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Here at Planet 7, we\u2019ve added some extra excitement to our \u201cLet Em Ride\u201d game: each hand, you\u2019re given the chance to include a small additional bet that qualifies you to win some or all of a progressive jackpot.<\/p>\n Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n Jim sits down at the Let It Ride table. He places a $10 bet. The Dealer deals Jim three cards: queen of hearts, queen of spades, and four of diamonds.<\/p>\n Jim\u2019s a smart guy. He knows he already has a pair of queens, which means he\u2019s going to win. So Jim lets it ride and puts down a second $10 bet. The Dealer turns over the first face-down card: a six of Spades. That doesn\u2019t help Jim\u2019s hand, but it doesn\u2019t matter. He still has a pair of queens. So Jim lets it ride, and places his third and final $10 bet. The Dealer turns over the last face-down card: three of Clubs. No help, but no matter: Jim\u2019s pair of queens pays out at 1:1 odds, and Jim is paid out $60. That\u2019s a $30 win; go Jim!<\/p>\n But that\u2019s just scratching the surface, because some hands pay out much, much more than 1:1 odds.<\/p>\n Of course the best way to understand Let It Ride (before we get into the serious strategies) is to try playing it.

The interesting thing about Let It Ride is that it wasn\u2019t originally created to be a casino game, so much as to sell something: Let It Ride was invented by the Shuffle Master Company as a method of getting their automatic shuffling machines out on the floor.<\/p>\n Having this new exciting game that required shuffling was a great new way to launch a product, and one of the freshest, most intriguing new casino games was born. In 2003, things picked up even more when Let It Ride was adopted by online casinos, allowing players to enjoy the game in their own home, without needing to leave the couch.<\/p>\n Let It Ride operates along the classic poker hand hierarchy<\/a>:<\/p>\nLet It Ride Steps:<\/h3>\n
