the same name by the Bachman-Turner Overdrive and a
1989 movie from 20th Century Fox.
Let it ride is a card game derived
from poker, generally played in casinos.

based on the five card stud poker game, and is generally
easy to learn. The players do not play against the dealer
or any other player.

How to Play
Bets
All bets must be placed prior to the
dealer announcing "no more bets." Each player
places three equal bets in the spaces indicated (1)(2)
($).
The deal
Each player and the dealer receives
three cards face down.
The play
You are not playing against the dealers
or the other players. You are simply trying to get the
best possible casino poker hand by using your three cards and
two community cards, which the dealer will expose.
Each player is required to keep the
three cards in full view of the dealer at all times.
The winners are paid according to the
payout schedule (pair of 10's or better, two pair, etc.).
After looking at his three cards, each player will be
asked by the dealer if he wishes to take back bet number
1 or "let it ride."
The dealer, after burning the community
card to his left, turns up one community card. Each
player will be asked by the dealer if he wants to take
back bet number 2 or "let it ride." After
each player has made a decision regarding bet number
2, each player's cards will be placed face down on the
designated area of the layout and they may not touch
the cards again.
The dealer then turns up the second
community card and in a counterclockwise direction,
turns the three cards of each player face up. After
all losing wagers have been collected, all winning hands
are paid by the dealer, according to the payout schedule.
Regardless of the decision made concerning
the first or second bets, a player may not take back
the third bet. Players are not allowed to show their
hands to the other players.
