| Red Dog is a
simple game from the old West played with
three cards. After receiving two cards,
the player wins if the next card dealt is
ranked between the first two cards. If all
three cards are the same rank, the player
wins 11 to 1. After placing the initial
bet, the player receives two cards. If
the two cards are different, the player
must decide either to raise the bet (with
an amount equal to the initial bet) or
continue with the current bet before receiving
the third card.
The player wins if the third card falls
numerically between the first two cards.
Winning hands are paid based on the spread
between the first two cards—how far
apart the first two cards rank. The player
loses the total bet—including any
raised bet—if the third card does
not fall between the first two cards.
When the first two cards have consecutive
ranks (for example, 5 and 6), then the
hand is a tie and all bets are returned
to the player.
When the first two cards have the same
rank, the third card is automatically
dealt. If the third card has the same
as the first two, the player wins eleven
times the initial bet. If the third card
is different than the first two, the game
is a push, and all bets are returned to
the player |
