About
This game combines two popular poker games into one: Let'em Ride & 3 Card Poker. The games are played separately and require separate wagers. The three Ante wagers are for the Let'em Ride game. The optional bonus wager is for the 3 Card Poker game.
A second optional $1 Progressive Jackpot wager may also be made. This wager pays fixed bonus amounts that are based on the rank of the final 5 card poker hand. The minimum qualifying hand is Three of a Kind.
The 3 Card Poker game and Progressive Jackpot can only be played if the wagers are placed for Let'em Ride. Those wagers are paid for winning hands regardless of whether the final 5 card hand wins.
Let'em Ride is ALMOST the exact opposite of Mississippi Stud. In this game, the Player starts the game "All In" and decides, as Dealer Community cards are revealed, whether to leave wagers in play or take them back.
A major difference between the two games is that Let'em Ride requires a minimum of a Pair of 10s to survive the hand; 10s or Better will earn the Player a win.
This differs from Mississippi Stud where a minimum of a Pair of 6s is required to "survive" and "Jacks or Better" is required to get paid.
It's a fun game and much less expensive than Mississippi Stud given that the Player has the opportunity to reduce the total wagers as the hand progresses. It does not, however, provide the Player with the opportunity to triple their initial wagers once there is a "made hand". For that reason, the game may not produce the high payouts that can be enjoyed in Mississippi.
How To Play
Placing Wagers
There are five places on the table that accept wagers. Tapping on the Ante spots or the 3 Card Bonus spot will increase the wagered amount by the default amount ($5, $10, $25, $50, $100) that is defined in Preferences. A maximum of $500 is allowed for each Ante spot. The 3 Card Bonus wager cannot exceed $100. The optional Jackpot wager is $1. This wager pays an additional bonus amount based on the rank of the final 5 card hand. Review the Payouts Table for payout specifics.
Before the cards are dealt, these spots can be cleared by pressing them and holding for a brief moment. In all cases, when the maximum for a spot has been reached, tapping on the spot an additional time will reset the wager to zero.
Dealing Cards
The five cards (2 community cards and 3 player cards) can be dealt after the Player has placed three equal Ante wagers. The 3 Card Bonus wager & the Jackpot wager are not required to deal the cards. When these wagers have been properly placed, the Deal button will become enabled.
Playing the Hand
The basic premise of Let'em Ride is that the Player purchases three cards; each for an equal wager. The Player will use these three cards and the two community cards to form a qualifying five card poker hand.
After the Player has seen the first three cards, he has the option to retract his first wager or keep it in play. This choice is made by pressing either the flashing "Thumbs Up" button to leave the wager or the "Thumbs Down" button to retract the wager. After this decision has been made, one of the community cards will be revealed. The Player can then see four of the five cards that will comprise his poker hand.
At this point, the Player must decide whether to retract the second wager or keep it in play in the same manner as was done for the first card. After that decision is made, the last dealer card will be revealed.
The third Player wager always remains in play.
The game ends after the second dealer card has been revealed. Poker hands below a pair of tens are losing hands. All other hands are paid according to the Payout Table.
The 3 Card Poker hand is made from the three Player cards and requires no action from the Player. Payouts are made for any pair or above. If there is not a payable hand in those cards, the Player's bonus wager is forfeited.
Winning the Bonuses
Regardless of whether the Player wins the hand, if the optional 3 Card Bonus wager was made, the Player will be paid if the initial three cards form a qualified 3 Card Poker hand.
The optional Jackpot bonus is only paid if the Player's five cards form a valid poker hand that of "3 of a Kind" or higher. Payouts are defined in the Payout Table that can be found in these instructions and by tapping the logo on the game board.
Quick Replay
After a hand completes, if the Player presses the Deal button, a new hand will be dealt and the same ante and bonus wager amounts from the preceding hand will be made.
If the Player does not want to repeat the last set of wagers, play will resume after the Player has adjusted the Ante and bonus wagers and pressed the Deal button.
