Reason #5 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

Intelligent Bonuses

Many online casinos offer huge signup bonuses, but there’s a catch. Buried in the fine print is that play on the most popular games doesn’t count towards earning the bonus. It’s common for play on blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, and video poker to be excluded. In many cases, only slots count.

And that’s if you can even find the terms and conditions. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big flaming letters but make you hunt all over their site to find the rules.

Bovada allows play on all games to count towards the wagering requirement. It’s that simple. Just no opposite betting. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bovada about this. The bonus offer itself is simple too: on your first deposit, they’ll give you an extra 10%. If you deposit $100, you’ll wind up with $110 in chips or tokens.

Finally, in the unlikely event that Bovada feels you’ve been abusing their bonuses they won’t seize your winnings like most other casinos will. In the worst case scenario they will politely tell you that they will not be offering you any future bonuses, but you are welcome to keep playing and keep everything you have made already.

How to Play

If you aren't familiar with the rules of the game see my section on how to play Let it Ride.

The initial bankroll is $1000 and the initial amount for each unit is $10, but this may be increased in increments of $10. You must have enough in your bankroll to be able to bet three units at the beginning. Below is the order of events of the game:

Adjust bet size (optional)
Click 'Deal Now' to start new hand
Depending on your first three cards click either 'Take Out' or 'Let it Ride'
Depending on your first four cards click either 'Take Out' or 'Let it Ride'
Repeat step 1

Please play this game slowly at first, as it takes a second or two to load each playing card image the first time it is used.
