Let it Ride (poker)
A casino game, banked by the house, that resembles poker only
in the ranking of the hands.
The game is sort of a cross between poker and a slot machine.
Players make three bets before receiving their cards, after
which each player is dealt three cards, and the house dealer
places two cards face down to be used as community cards. After
looking at their three cards, players can opt to take back one
bet, or let it ride. The dealer turns up one of the community
cards, and players can take back the second bet or again let
it ride. At this point, the dealer turns up the remaining community
card, and pays all winning hands according to a fixed payout
schedule, starting with a pair of 10s. Players play against
the payout schedule rather than
against the dealer or any other player.
The game is played on a seven-seat table, similar to a blackjack
table.
