GASPORT MAN WINS BIG AT SENECA NIAGARA CASINO -
'Rides' luck to Royal Flush, $55,000
NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK - John Sims had more to feel good about than the near 80-degree temperatures on Tuesday. The Gasport, New York native walked out of Seneca Niagara Casino with a heavier wallet.
Sims turned a $30 wager into a $55,000 payday.
Playing Let It Ride®, Sims placed three $10 wagers on his hand. When all the cards were revealed, Sims had a Royal Flush - good for a 1,000 to 1 payoff on his bet and a $25,000 bonus payment.
Let It Ride® is a popular casino table game based on Poker hands where players have a chance to win big jackpots. The object is to get a good Poker hand by combining the player's three cards with the dealer's two cards. Unlike other table games, the player does not play against the dealer or other players.
At the start of the hand, each player must place three equal bets. A player may also add a dollar to "light up" the bonus spot and qualify for a chance at bonus payments. After looking at the first three cards, the player may ask for his first bet back or "let it ride."
