How to Play:

Betting: Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the screen beside the User Information box. 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.

Your wager is divided into three equal piles and placed on the Multi-Player Let It Ride table. You may also choose to place a $1 bet by clicking on the BONUS PAYOUT red circle to qualify for a bonus and then clicking on the "DEAL" button. The dealer deals each player three cards face up and themselves three cards face down. One standard deck of 52 cards is used. If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit, your bet amount will be automatically adjusted to the minimum bet amount. If you place a wager that is higher than the maximum table bet limit, your bet amount will automatically be adjusted to the maximum bet amount.

After you receive your 3 cards, you must decide whether to Let It Ride or Pull Bet. If you select the latter, one bet will be pulled from the table back to the your hand. The fourth card is then discarded and the fifth card revealed. You 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.

In Multi-Player mode, you may select your next move while you are waiting for the other players to complete their play. A dialogue box will appear on the lower half of the screen. You will be invited to select your next move (Let It Ride or Withdraw). You may select your choice by clicking on the checkbox to the left of your choice. Alternatively, you may wait until the arrow points to your seat. 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. Each table can accommodate five players and the dealer. Your spot on the table will be noted by an arrow. You may change your position on the table by pointing at the desired spot and clicking on it once the "Click for Seat" message appears. You are only allowed to switch seats between hands. Each player begins a hand by placing a bet on the table as described above. Once you have placed a bet on the table, you may choose to skip the given deal (before your first card is dealt) by clicking on the "Pass" button or to proceed with the bet by pressing "Deal". If you do not bet or pass within 15 seconds from the beginning of your turn, you will be automatically excluded from that particular hand. Note that if you join a table in the middle of a hand, you must wait until the round is over and after that you will be able to bet on the next hand.

Alternatively, you can click on a specific table. A new window will open displaying the minimum and maximum bet.

Setting your table bet limit:

You may also set your table bet limit below the maximum specified limit by selecting "Bet Options" from the "Game Menu". The "Modify Table Bet Limit" window will appear on the screen. To reduce your maximum table bet limit type in the new limit in the appropriate box and confirm it by typing your PIN in the box below. Click on the OK button to complete the update. Please be aware that you can modify your table bet limit no more than once per day and that using the "Modify Table Bet Limit" function affects the bet limit for all table games and not just the game that you are currently playing.

If you prefer not to chat, you may close the chat window by clicking on the "x" button in the top right hand corner of the chat window.
