Since the advent of online casinos the range of casino games we can play online has grown exponentially. There are now hundreds of casino games available across an increasing number of online casinos. Most of these new casino games are of course variations of slots and video slots covering a huge range of themes designed to satisfy almost everyone’s taste and interest, but there are also a number of new games which are based on more traditional casino games. We often comment in these pages that one of the biggest winners from the introduction of online casinos is the game of poker, which for serious poker players tends to be the Texas Hold’em format of the game. There are however a number of other versions of poker available at most major online casinos, including stud poker and draw poker both of which many people will be familiar with, and relatively new variations such as Let it Ride. Many versions of poker, particularly those using community cards and multiple betting rounds may be too rich for many online casino games players, but games such as Let it Ride are very simple and can be played against the house for fixed stakes. We have included the rules of Let it Ride on our casino games pages but here is a quick intro to the game. The player first places three equal ante bets of at least the minimum table stake, after which three cards are dealt face up followed by two more face down. Based on the potential of the three open cards the players can then choose to remove one of the ante bets, or leave it ie. let it ride. One of the blind cards is then revealed and the player can choose again whether to remove an ante bet or leave it on the table. The final card is then revealed and a winning hand paid at fixed odds depending on the value of the hand. It really is that easy, so if you are looking for a casino game in which to learn a bit about the rankings of poker hands, try Let it Ride. It’s great fun and you can decide your own stakes.
