How to Win at Ride the Bus in Schedule 1
You can bet anywhere from $10 to $500, and if you make it through all four rounds, you’ll walk away with 20x your original bet. But one wrong guess and you lose everything.
Here’s how each round works—and how to beat it.
Round 1: Red or Black
A card is drawn face down. You guess if it’s red (hearts or diamonds) or black (spades or clubs).
Tip: It’s a 50/50 shot. Pick your favorite and stick with it.
Correct Guess: You double your money.
Round 2: Higher or Lower
A second card is drawn. Guess if it will be higher or lower than the first one.
Tip: If your first card is a 7 or 8, this gets tricky. Anything lower than a 7 is safer to guess “higher,” and anything above an 8 is safer to guess “lower.”
Correct Guess: You now have 3x your bet.
Round 3: Inside or Outside
Now you guess if the next card will fall inside or outside the range of your two previous cards.
Inside means between the two numbers (e.g., between a 3 and a 10).
Outside means lower than the lower card or higher than the higher one.
Tip: If your first two cards are close together (like 6 and 8), you have worse odds for “inside.” Go with “outside.”
Correct Guess: You now have 4x your bet.
Round 4: Guess the Suit
One final card is drawn. This time, you guess the exact suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades.
Tip: This is pure chance unless you’ve been counting suits from previous rounds. Some people walk away before this one—and that’s smart if you’re happy with 4x.
Correct Guess: You win 20x your original bet.
Pro Tips
You can cash out after any round, so if you're happy with your winnings, don’t be greedy.
Use small bets to learn the game, then go big when you feel lucky.
Time matters—don’t let the clock run out or you’ll auto-fail the round.
Final Blurb
Ride the Bus is the wildest way to make money at the Casino in Schedule 1—and if you’re good (or lucky), it can be one of the most profitable too. Just don’t get cocky. The game wants you to fail. Stay sharp, know when to walk, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll ride that bus all the way to $10K.
