Poker Ride is a casino game based on poker- you use Poker hand rankings to score your hand versus the dealer and there is often a Progressive side bet.
Place an Ante bet (with a side bet for the progressive jackpot if you want) and 5 cards are dealt, 3 face up and 2 face down.
Based on your 3 visible cards, you either call or increase your bet. By calling, you continue on the same bet level. By Calling, you make another bet equal to the value of the Ante.
The 4th card is revealed, and again you must choose whether to call or raise. Then comes card number 5 at which point the house pays out according to your hand and the payout table. So, for example a Four of A Kind pays 50:1. You get paid on the total of your bets. The minimum hand that results in a payout is typically a Pair of Tens or above.
If you have also made a side bet, you are in the running to hit the progressive Jackpot. A Royal Flush generally scoops the lot and a Straight Flush will net you one tenth of the Progressive jackpot.
