The Interface (GUI)
Getting to know the Ride Tide Buddy interface is easy. The prominent feature is the Display
area that provides a visual reference to what moves you should make when "always hint" or any hint option is used.
Next is the Stats area where you can always be informed as to the number of games played,
the most amount of tokens earned at one time (best), and total tokens earned. Underneath these are the interactive buttons: the Autoplay button will begin the autoplay and can be stopped at any time.
Similarly, the GUI can be collapsed or expanded at any time. The Show hint and Play Hint buttons will do exactly that.
Ride Tide Buddy also lists a few menu options:
Options, Rooms and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below.

Menu Options
 |
The Options allows you to access Ride Tide Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Ride Tide Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Ride Tide Buddy. It contains backdoors links to each of Pogo's Ride the Tide room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Ride Tide Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Troubleshoot and Bug Report feature to use when Ride Tide Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

Optimizing Performance
- Don't bet over your head: If you have a specific amount other than MAX that you prefer to bet, make sure to adjust your bet amount so that the max bet in the Buddy's Options is NOT selected.
- Surf's up!: Hands being dealt too fast for your taste? No problem! Choose a slower speed setting from the Options menu.
