All In Stud

A Galaxy Gaming casino table game mathematically equivalent to Let It Ride, but using an 'add bets' structure instead of the pull-back mechanic.

Coming soon β€” not yet playable

Rules

All In Stud deals three hole cards to each player after an initial bet, with two community-style cards revealed one at a time β€” structurally very similar to Let It Ride (also in this library).

The key difference from Let It Ride: rather than starting with three separate bets and pulling two of them back if a hand looks weak, All In Stud starts with a single base bet and gives the player the option to add additional 1x bets at each reveal (checking, meaning no additional bet, is always allowed instead).

Showdown: the player's final five-card hand (three hole cards plus two revealed community cards) is paid according to a fixed paytable, exactly as in Let It Ride, with no dealer hand to beat.

Historical note: developed by Galaxy Gaming, first placed on a casino floor in January 2020 at the Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada.

Strategy notes: Though structured differently on the surface (adding bets instead of pulling them back), All In Stud is mathematically equivalent to Let It Ride β€” the same underlying hand-strength thresholds that tell a Let It Ride player when to let a bet ride tell an All In Stud player when to add a bet.

Common house rules

  • Mathematically identical to Let It Ride

    Despite the different bet-placement mechanic (adding bets versus pulling them back), the optimal strategy and house edge are the same as Let It Ride (also in this library) β€” a player who knows one game already knows the other's correct strategy.

  • Checking is always free

    At each stage, a player may always decline to add a bet (check) without penalty β€” there's no requirement to add money at every reveal.

  • No dealer hand to beat

    As in Let It Ride, there's no dealer comparison β€” every hand is paid independently based on a fixed paytable.
