Premise

Each player of VIP Casino Let It Ride Poker plays only with the dealer and not against other players. The objective is to obtain the highest poker hand (containing at least a pair of tens) while keeping the maximum bet on the table.
A player begins each hand by placing an ante on the table which consists of three identical bets with an option of making an additional $1 bet in order to qualify for a bonus.
Six cards are dealt in total. The first three cards are dealt to the player (face up) and the next three cards are placed in front of the dealer (face down). At this time, the player may choose to withdraw the first bet (Pull Bet) or keep it on the table (Let It Ride).
The dealer then discards the fourth card and turns over the fifth card and the player must decide whether to Let It Ride or to Pull the second bet after which the dealer finally turns over the sixth card and the hand is scored.
The player wins if the player's hand qualifies with at least a pair of tens, the payoff is determined by the quality of the hand. Players can win a bonus on top of their payouts if they place the additional $1 bet by drawing one of the following hands: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, or Three of a Kind. For information on payoffs, please consult the payoff table below. The skill of the player is required to find the appropriate strategy for the 51,979,200 possible variations of this game.

How to Play

Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the screen above your User Name. Select the amount you would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button on the chip of that denomination. The amount wagered per hand may be increased or decreased by placing the mouse on the stack that you wish to add or subtract to your bet. Each time you click the left mouse button you will add a chip from that pile to your planned wager amount. Likewise by clicking on the right mouse button you can decrease your planned wager amount. You may repeat your last bet by simply hitting the "0" button of your numeric keyboard. Other keyboard shortcuts are summarized below.

Once the player has chosen an amount he would like to wager, the amount is divided into three equal piles and placed on the Let It Ride table. The player may also choose to place a $1 bet by clicking on the BONUS PAYOUT red circle to qualify for a bonus and then press the "DEAL" button. The dealer will deal the player three cards face up and themselves three cards face down . One standard deck of 52 cards is used.

After the player receives his 3 cards, he must decide whether to Let It Ride or Pull Bet. If the player selects the latter, one bet will be pulled from the table back to the player's hand. The fourth card is then discarded and the fifth card revealed. The player must again make a decision whether to Let It Ride or Pull Bet. Once one of these options has been selected, the dealer will reveal the sixth and final card.

Players win if they have a hand with at least a pair of tens. The payoffs for different hands are shown in the payoff section below.
