Red
Dog
Description and Objective
Red Dog is a simple game from the
old West played with three cards.æ
After receiving two cards, the player
wins if the next card dealt is ranked
between the first two cards.æ
If all three cards are the same rank,
the player wins 11 to 1.
Game Play
After placing the initial bet, the
player receives two cards.æ
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.æ Winning hands are
paid based on the spread between the
first two cards - how far apart the
first two cards rank.æ 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.æ If the third card has
the same as the first two, the player
wins eleven times the initial bet.æ
If the third card is different than
the first two, the game is a push,
and all bets are returned to the player.
