LetItRide 2.0a
Copyright(c) 1999,2000 Rose Software

Introduction
------------
Thank you for trying LetItRide. LetItRide is a stud poker game
for the Palm Pilot that has basically the same rules as the Let It Ride
game that is played in many casinos.
By playing the game on your Pilot, you can quickly try a number of betting
strategies, and 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 ;-)
The initial bankroll provided by this program is $500. If you run out
of money, you will need to register the program in order to be able to
"buy" additional chips and continue playing the game. The registration fee
is just $5.00. A small sum for all the enjoyment you will get from this
game!
For the latest version of this and other Pilot apps, visit the Rose
Software web page at:

How to Play
------------
The screen for the game is divided as follows:
+---------------------------------------+
| |
| |
| |
| Player Card Area |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|----------+------+---------------------|
| Bankroll | Ante | Play Buttons |
+----------+------+---------------------+
The ante amount can be changed by selecting inside the Ante area. Valid
ante amounts are $5 to $25 in increments of $5. After selecting the ante
amount, press the Deal button to start the game.
When the deal button is pressed, you start by wagering an amount equal to
three times the ante amount. However, you will have the opportunity to
pull back up to two of the ante amounts if you don't like your cards. Five
cards are dealt, with three of the cards being exposed and the remaining
two cards being covered.
After the cards are dealt, the "Bet" and "Pull" buttons are displayed in the
Play Buttons area. If you like your cards, you may press the Bet button to
leave your bet as is. If you do not like your cards so far, you may press
the Pull button to pull back one of your ante amounts.
After either button is pressed, one of the covered cards is exposed, and the
process repeats. After both of the covered cards have been exposed, if the
player has a pair of tens or better he is paid based on the amount of bet
remaining and the payout odds, which are based on the final hand.
The payouts are as follows:
Pair (10s or better) 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a kind 3:1
Straight 4:1
Flush 5:1
Full House 7:1
Four of a Kind 20:1
Straight Flush 50:1
ROYAL FLUSH 100:1
Since a payout is guaranteed for a pair of tens or better, it is in your best
interest to leave the bet when you have a pair of tens or better showing, and
to pull your bets back if you have a low possibility of finishing with a
paying hand.
