    i was an AC last week at Ballys. The one craps table was full so I wandered around to kill time. Found an empty Let It Ride table with a friendly looking dealer so I bought in for $100. She showed me the ropes and I played. I lost 6 straight hands ( pulling back what I could). Finally put my last five $5 chips out ( including the bonus). Was dealt AA2. Dealer turns over A and another A! Gives me a cool win of just under $2000!

    Is this a common game in Vegas? - not sure I ever remember seeing it but really never paid much attention. ( Will be in Vegas in July at Flamingo). Might try it again.

    It’s not as common as it once was being eclipsed by many of the newer table games. I played it last year at Bally’s and Harrahs on the strip and once downtown but I forget where. Just look around you’ll find it and good luck !

    PH has two tables for sure.
    Aria has one table.
    Bellagio has one table.
    Paris has a least one table.
    Caesars has a table.
    Wynn has a table.

    Played them all the last week of April.

    Thanks all. Looking forward to it. I mostly play craps but look for a diversion occasionally.

    Very first time I played it was at TI around 2010 or so and I hit a Full House for $900. I have never won a penny since.

    Yeah but

    I go to Vegas (or AC) to gamble. I’ll be at the Flamingo for 7 nights. If I win day one, should I put it in my pocket and sit by the pool for 6 days? That’s no fun.

    For me the strategy is to stick pretty much to my budget each day, regardless of what I have done prior days. If my gaming budget is $500 a day and I win $2000 on day one, I might allow my budget to creep up an extra $100 a couple of days, but not much. More likely to upgrade my dinner choices or maybe an extra trip to the spa.

    Most casinos have 1-2 Let it ride tables.
    I find that the table is usually very full and the dealers at multiple tables have nicknamed the game "Let it Die"
    I usually play Let it Ride or High Card Flush when I play table games.

    The biggest mistake people make on this game is buying in for $100, might as well get up and throw those chips into the nearest garbage can. If you are playing $10's, you've gotta buy in for $400 to $500 and be patient. The second biggest mistake is not letting it ride with a low pair.

    Me and my normal Vegas crew play this game a ton, if you can pick the right seat you can make some cash. Was +$6k this past trip playing $20 on the three card bonus and $15 below. Couple of good streaks of no brainers, a 4OAK, a few full houses, and multiple three card bonus straight flushes.

    Interesting.

    I was at a $5 table so it was $25 per hand. For 6 ( maybe 7 or 8) hands i lost the bonus bet and one $5 on the main hand. I might have won something small on the three card. I do know i had $25 left when I played my winning hand. As I mentioned I was waiting for a spot to open at the craps table and this table was nearby.

    I don’t see me ever buying in for $400 or $500, even at a $10 table. Maybe $200 if I really fewl like playing a bit.

    I had moderate success playing at a $5 table at Binions I think around 2010. Are these extra side bets new? I've only ever played with the standard three bets and a $1 bonus bet.

    He meant 1 or 2 tables per casino, the minimum bet will all always be $5 or more.

    Unless you want to play these machines at NYNY...

    I may have to visit NYNY and play this game. I enjoy a little time on unique machines that are hard to find. Now if I could find some double down stud machines again that would be a blast.

    It is a game where you bleed money slowly but a good hit can overcome that at any time. Truly a gamble but you must play the bonuses.
