Let-It-Ride Poker was introduced to Nevada casinos in 1993 and has a very interesting history in its short life. Let-It-Ride Poker was designed by Shuffle Master Gaming, which makes automatic shuffling machines and gaming tables. Shuffle Master wanted to develop a game that necessitated the use of both of their products — an automatic shuffler and a standard blackjack-sized gaming table. They also wanted the game to be simple enough to appeal to all players, not just blackjack players. The game that they came up with was Let-It-Ride Poker. Easy to understand and play with the added temptation of a big payout on a side bet, Let-It-Ride has become one of the most successful newer casino games.
