Rules of Let Them Ride
Let Them Ride Poker is another game that uses the ranking rules of poker even though it doesn't resemble other poker games. Just like Red Dog Poker Let Them Ride is a very unique game. It's a single player game in which you do not compete against the banker or other players.
As opposed to most of card games where you have to increase bets throughout the game Let Them Ride gives you an option to actually reduce your bets. Before the game begins, you place three equal bets on the betting table. When you're done betting the house will deal five cards. You will receive three of them and two other ones (called the "community" cards) will be placed at the top of the table face down. The goal of the game is to form strongest poker hand possible. As the poker hand consists of five cards you will have to open the community cards one after another to form a hand and determine what is your final win. To do that, you have to decide whether to Pull Out or Let Them Ride. Pulling out means removing one of the bets from the table. The removed bet is then returned to you. On the contrary Let Them Ride means you don't want to remove a bet. You can now open a community card and make the decision again.
When you have a hand with five open cards your win is determined. The betting table has a square named "payoff" that explains how your wins will be calculated against poker ranking of your hand.
Let Them Ride also has a special feature that is called "Side bet". Placing $1 on the side bet makes you eligible for additional winning combinations which are speficied in another square on the betting table that is named "Side bet pay off".
Notice that Let Them Ride is traditionally considered a game for smaller money bets.
