Let It Ride Online
When the phrase ‘online gaming’ is mentioned, there are a variety of thoughts that come to mind. The first one is blackjack, poker, roulette and slot machines. While these are all good examples of what online gaming has to offer, there is a new kid on the block making more frequent appearances. That new kid is none other than the game of ‘Let It Ride’ (also know as ‘Let Them Ride’).
Those familiar with the game already know first hand what there is to love about Let It Ride. For those that are new to the game or have never heard of it, a little background information is necessary. The game begins with each player placing three bets of equal amounts onto the table. Once bets are placed, each player and the dealer receive three cards face down. One of the dealer cards is removed from play leaving the two remaining cards to serve as community cards. The idea of the game is for each player to make the best poker hand using the three personal cards and two community cards dealt.
At this point the only cards visible to the players are the personal cards. After taking a look at the personal cards a player must decide whether to withdraw a bet or ‘let it ride’. With all bets placed, the dealer turns over one of the two community cards. Now there are the three personal cards and one community card showing. Next a player must decide again to ‘let it ride’ or withdraw a bet.
One bet may be removed from play if the player has a weak hand. The other two bets may remain on the table if desired. With final decisions made, the dealer reveals the last community card. Players then reveal their personal hands and bets are paid according to what each player is holding. Anything less than a pair of tens results in a player losing all bets on the table.
As the popularity of this game continues to grow, online gaming websites are including it in their arsenal of games. Let It Ride is a great combination of blackjack and poker. The game is based on the premise of trying to establish the best possible poker hand while going against the dealer blackjack style. It gives poker and blackjack enthusiasts something to play in down time when there comes a need to walk away from those two popular card games. Online gamers love it for the opportunity it presents to add diversity to gaming lineups.
