Poker Pursuit

Poker Pursuit


Poker Pursuit is commonly listed as a video poker game probably because of it's graphical presentation (see picture to the right). However, Poker Pursuit is really nothing more or less than Microgaming's variant of Let It Ride Poker.

After you are dealt your first three cards, you are given the opportunity to Raise or Call your bet. You can only raise your bet with one coin. After you have decided to Raise or Call your bet, you are presented your fourth card. You are then once again offered the choice to Raise or to Call your bet.

Poker Pursuit is a personal favorite because large wins are possible with only small bets (the house edge is rather large though).
