Ride poker

Let It Ride poker is a popular table game often offered as a video poker variant at online casinos like BetUS. This makes Let It Ride video poker one of the first and only non-draw-style video poker games. That’s because Let It Ride is technically a stud-style poker game.

Players still receive five cards like they would at any other video poker machine, but instead of getting the option to change out cards, they’re given the option to switch up their bets. Here’s how it works.

At the beginning of every Let It Ride round, players will make a bet that is further divided into three equal wagers. Three cards are then dealt face up to the screen with two additional cards dealt face down. If they don’t like what they see, then a player may retract one of their bets.

Next, a fourth card is turned over and players must once again decide if they want to retract a bet or “Let It Ride.” The fifth and final card is then revealed and any resulting wins are paid automatically. The minimum qualifying hand in Let It Ride video poker is a pair of 10s or better.

Whereas traditional video poker strategy focuses on choosing the right cards, Let It Ride’s strategy is limited to how you place your bets. Similar to live poker, the key to coming out ahead in Let It Ride video poker is minimizing your losses.
