Poker Ride
What is Poker Ride?
Poker Ride is a game of luck and skill rolled into one. The aim of this game is to obtain the strongest hand. In Poker Ride a player is dealt three cards, while the Dealer receives 2 cards. The Player can then choose to 'call' or 'raise'. Payout for a winning hand is determined according to the value of the hand.
How to Play Poker Ride
The game of Poker Ride is played using a standard pack of 52 cards.
Poker Ride consists of three phases.
In the first phase, the Player is dealt three cards and at this point, the Player may choose to raise or call. If a Player chooses to raise, an amount equal to the original bet, reaches betting circle 1. If the Player calls, then the Dealer's first of two cards is overturned and becomes the Player's fourth card.
A Player may decide to raise or call in the second phase of the game. If a raise is decided upon, as in phase 1, then an amount equal to the amount of the original bet is placed - this time on betting circle 2. If a player chooses to call, the Dealer's second card is overturned and joins the Player's hand as the 5th card.
Phase three of Poker Ride concerns the evaluation of the hand.
-If the hand contains a regular win, payout will be made according to the Payout Schedule.
-If the hand contains a jackpot win, payout will be made according to the jackpot payment schedule.
-If the hand does not contain a win this time, the game is finished and the player may choose when to play again.
