Some casinos will let you make a bonus bet on your first 3 cards. For example, a 3-card Flush might pay 3-to-1 while a 3-card Mini Royal might pay out 50-to-1. Beware though, the house edge nearly doubles on this bonus bet.
Side Bet
There are also some casinos that will give you an option for making an extra “side bet” for a dollar when playing Let It Ride. This bet is in addition to your ante and 2 main bets, and it is for an extra payoff for specific hands.
This bet started in 1995, when Shuffle Master created a Let It Ride tournament. They set up the tournaments so that every three to six months, players who got a royal flush when they made the side bet were invited to a million dollar tournament.
The tournament has since been discontinued, however the side bet has remained. It can be made for a bonus payoff when certain hands are made. The pay table for the bonus varies from casino to casino, and the house edge ranges from 15 to 30% on side bets.
