Let's Play
Introduction
The side bet known as Let's Play is primarily influenced by the player's opening two cards. I have noticed this game being offered at the Eureka in Mesquite, the Orleans, and Arizona Charlie's Decatur in Las Vegas, each with its own payout structure. Here is a summary of the awards found across all payout tables:
- Suited AKQJ: The player's and dealer's initial two cards must include an ace, king, queen, and jack, all of the same suit.
- Straight flush: A set of two consecutive cards that are suited; aces can be considered either high or low.
- Suited AK: Suited ace and king.
- Suited QJ: Suited queen and jack.
Presented here are all the relevant rules and analyses.
