Casino Game Rules from sports.com

Free Ride

Free Ride is based on stud poker. You are dealt three cards and given two opportunities to raise your bet and receive two additional cards. If your five-card hand ranks high enough you win - it's as easy as that! Free Ride also offers a separate progressive jackpot bet for $1. If you play the progressive and your hand qualifies, you win big!

Rules

Free Ride uses a one deck shoe which is reshuffled after each hand.

After you place your bet, three cards are dealt to you. Then you are dealt two more cards one by one to make it five. Each time prior to receiving the fourth and fifth cards you can either raise your bet on an amount equal to your initial bet or pass. Thus you can triple the win amount on favorable occasions! The smallest winning combination is pair of tens. For a complete payout list please refer to the table below.

Note: Maximum payout on our Free Ride table is $50,000.00.

Free Ride Poker Hands

Free Ride Poker Hands
Note: Maximum payout on our Free Ride table is $50,000.00.
Example: Casino A has a $20,000 maximum payout limit on Free Ride and a progressive jackpot of $5,000. A player bets $60 on Free Ride, and makes the $1 progressive bet.

He/she obtains a Royal Flush and expects to win $60,000 but actually only wins $20,000, regardless of the odds given below, because $20,000 is the maximum payout amount designated for that table.

This player also played the progressive so, according to the progressive jackpot payout schedule, his/her winnings would include 100% of the progressive jackpot giving her a grand total of $25,000 in winnings.

A winning hand pays out according to the following odds:
Hand Payout
Royal Flush 1000:1
Straight Flush 200:1
Four of a Kind 50:1
Full House 11:1
Flush 8:1
Straight 5:1
Three of a Kind 3:1
Two Pair 2:1
Pair of 10s or Better 1:1

Progressive Jackpot
You can place a $1 bonus bet if you wish to participate in a progressive jackpot. By placing an additional $1 wager, you have the chance to win a portion or all of the jackpot based on the strength of your hand! Below is the payout schedule for this optional $1 wager.

Hand Payout
Royal Flush 100% of Jackpot
Straight Flush 10% of Jackpot
Four of a Kind $250
Full House $150
Flush $100

Important Note: Your winnings do not accumulate as credits within our Table Games, Slots and Video Games. Each time you win, your winnings are deposited directly into your account balance, so you do not have to hit Cash Out when you want to leave the game - your winnings have already been placed in your account.
