 Free Ride
Poker Rules
Free Ride uses a one deck shoe. Remember you are not
competing against the dealer; you are just trying to get the
best hand possible. Even if you pass twice, you could still
qualify to win based on your initial wager.
Make sure your initial wager is greater than the minimum bet for
the table.
- The maximum bet refers to your initial bet, and that the
total bet per hand may exceed the maximum bet if you choose to
raise.
