| To
recap, you have two independent decisions
to make in Let it Ride. After inspecting your
initial three cards you must decide to let
your # 1 bet ride or to take it down. After
seeing the fourth community card you must
make the same decision for the #2 bet. You
can let the #.1 bet ride and take down the
#2 bet, or vice versa. Or you can let both
bets ride or take them down. You are not permitted
on your second decision to change your #1
bet. If it was pulled down it stays down,
and if you let it ride it must continue to
ride. You have no decision to make on the
dollar sign bet. This bet always rides, allowing
the casino at least one opportunity to win
your money!
After all players have made their decisions
on the #2 bet, the dealer will then expose
the second community card and then inspect
each player's five-card hands (consisting
of the initial three cards and the two community
cards). If the five-card poker hand doesn't
contain at least a pair of tens or higher,
you lose the bet in the dollar sign spot plus
any bets that you let ride in the #1 or #2
spots. In the event that you hold a pair of
tens or higher, you win the amount listed
in the payoff schedule depending on the rank
of the poker hand. The $ spot plus any bet
that you let ride will receive the listed
payoff. For example, if you bet $5 on each
spot and let the #1 and #2 bets ride, and
you end up with a five-card straight, each
of your $5 bets would be paid $40 (eight to
one payoff). That's a total win of $120 for
the initial $15 bet. If you get real lucky
and are dealt a royal flush with all bets
riding, you win $15,000 for your initial $15
investment!
