It’s a variation on 5 Card Stud poker. You may also know it as Let ‘em Ride or Let It Ride. It was introduced to casinos in 1993 and has since become one of the more popular table games because of the simple rules and potential to win a pretty decent amount of cash.

Let Them Ride is a solitary game in which you’re trying to create the best possible 5 card poker hand. This makes it excellent for beginners for many reasons, including the fact that it helps you recognize winning poker hands. In addition, there’s no intense competition. You’re not even competing against the dealer. This cuts out all the intimidation of learning poker as you can take the time to study the cards and get to know the game.

It’s played on a table that’s similar to a Blackjack table. The game is broken up into three stages. This can make it quite appealing to more experienced players as it simulates the rounds that you find in games such as Hold’em. There are two different variations with only the betting procedure differing between them. In the first variation, you put down all three wagers before the game starts and take them away as the cards are dealt. In the second variation, you put down your wagers after each card is dealt.

The pace of Let Them Ride can be as slow or as quick as you want. I enjoy this aspect of the game the most. I wasn’t overwhelmed with the speed of play, or by the pressure of having to make a move because someone else is waiting like in other poker games. And, once you get a hang of it, you can pick up the pace. Fast or slow, Let Them Ride is an interesting take on the standard poker game and an excellent way to venture into the poker world.
