How the Daily Challenge Works
The challenge is a single idea: every calendar day has one target hand, and your job is to make it — or something better — in a hand of Let It Ride. Nothing is stored anywhere but your own browser.
Play today's hand
Press Deal to put up three equal bets. You get three private cards; two community cards stay face down. Let the 1st bet ride or pull it back, then do the same with the 2nd. The $ bet always stays in action.
Hit the daily goal
Your five cards are scored against today's target. Anything at or above the target counts — if the goal is two pair, three of a kind clears it too. One qualifying hand completes the day; you can keep dealing afterwards for practice.
Build your streak
Complete the challenge on consecutive days and your streak grows. Miss a day and it resets to zero, but your best streak is kept. Everything is stored in this browser only — clear your site data and it goes.
Strategy hints stay available on the table above. Pulling a bet back is often the right play even on a challenge day — the goal rewards the hand you make, not the money you leave exposed.

Daily Challenge FAQ
What is Let It Ride poker?
Let It Ride is a casino table game played against a pay table rather than against the dealer or the other players. You place three equal bets, receive three private cards, and two community cards are revealed one at a time. Your final hand is all five cards together.
What makes it unusual is that you get two chances to take money back: after seeing your three cards, and again after the first community card. The third bet — the $ bet — can never be withdrawn. The lowest paying hand is a pair of tens. Start with the introduction.
What hand do I need to win today's challenge?
Today's target is shown at the top of this page. It is always one of five: a pair of tens or better, two pair or better, three of a kind or better, a straight or better, or a flush or better. Anything stronger than the target also counts.
Four of a kind and above are deliberately never set as a goal — they turn up far too rarely for a challenge meant to be attempted once a day. The rules guide lists what beats what.
How does the Daily Challenge work?
The goal is derived from the calendar date itself, so everyone who opens this page on the same day gets the same target and it does not change until midnight in your own time zone. Play a hand, and if your five cards reach the target the day is marked complete.
Your attempts, results and streaks live in this browser's local storage under a single key. There is no account and nothing is uploaded. Clearing site data, or using a different browser or device, starts you from scratch. Which decisions to make along the way is covered in the basic strategy guide.
Can I play the Daily Challenge for free?
Yes. It is free and for practice only. The chips have no monetary value, cannot be bought, cashed out or transferred, and there is no sign-up. The balance resets to 1,000 whenever you reload the page.
