LetItRide 2.0
Copyright(c) 1997, RGPS
All Rights Reserved
Thank you for trying LetItRide. LetItRide is a gambling game popular in Las
Vegas Atlantic City and other Casinos. By Playing the game on your pilot
perhaps you can learn to play better and win a few bucks next time you go to
the casino. If you do please remember who provided this learning aid
for you ;-)
LetItRide also has a TeachMe Mode that will warn you when you are not
playing according to an optimal playing strategy. This feature will help
you learn the "Right" way to play LetItRide at the casino.
How to Play
------------
Place your three bets, of equal value, by selecting the BET button after
increasing or decreasing the bet by selecting the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons
The value displayed on the chip in the lower left corner of the screen is the
value of each of the three bets that will be placed.
After you have placed your bet three cards will be dealt face up and two will
be dealt face down. After examining the three cards you may elect to TAKE BACK
your first bet or LET IT RIDE. After this first decision is made one of the
face down cards will be revealed and you will be given the choice to TAKE BACK
your second bet or LET IT RIDE. After making this decision the last face down
card will be revealed and the hand will be evaluated using normal Poker hand
rules. Your third bet must be played. Each Poker hand will pay out a
different amount the payouts are as follows
Pair of 10s or better 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a kind 3:1
Straight 5:1
Flush 8:1
Full House 11:1
Four of a Kind 50:1
Straight Flush 200:1
ROYAL FLUSH 1000:1
The key to Winning
------------------
Your only real chance to win is through Money Management. You need to
increase your bet when you are on a winning streak and decrease your bet when
you are on a loosing streak. Obviously the odds are with the house, that's
why they call it gambling. Your strategy should be to Let It Ride on hands you
know you will win or when you feel lucky ;-) The game deals from a single
deck so a little card counting won't hurt. Remember...not registering your
shareware will bring you bad luck ;-)
The evaluation period is 30 days. If you continue to use it after 30 days, you
are required to register.
