Rules and Paytables
The main goal of Let ‘Em Ride, is to create the best possible hand with 5 cards. You’re not playing against other players or the dealer, so this should relieve a lot of pressure existent in other classic card games.
If you’re new to the game, you can try playing the game in its practice version, but when betting real money on your cards, you must know what to do and how to win.
The game begins with the player placing an initial bet. Bets range from $ 1 to $ 30, so it’s up to you how much you’re going to spend. After this, you must hit the “Deal” button. You are then showed three cards faced up and two cards faced down. At this point you can either “Let ‘Em Ride” by pressing “Cont” (Continue) or raise your bet with the “Raise” button. If you decide to raise, you automatically place another bet of the same value as your initial one.
Regardless of whether you choose to continue or raise, after hitting the button, one of the two hidden cards will be shown. You are again able to raise or continue. Another raise means another bet of the same value as the previous ones. After this, the last hidden card is shown and you can count your winnings!
In order to compete for the progressive jackpot, you need to pay an extra $ 1 per round. You win the entire jackpot with a Royal Flush.
If you don’t hit the entire jackpot, you can also earn 10% of it with a Straight Flush. Four of a Kind is worth $ 500 when playing for the jackpot, or 50 to 1 otherwise. In jackpot mode, a Full house is worth $ 100, while a Flush pays out $ 75.
The highest in-game win is 1,000 to 1 with a Royal Flush, but without that extra dollar that enables you to compete for the jackpot.
Virtually all combinations of cards that form winning hands in poker are rewarded generously in Let ‘Em Ride. The only difference is that the payout starts from a pair of tens which pays 1 on 1.
