Red Dog is a fun card game variation of "Acey-Duecey" or "In-Betweens", and although it is rarely found in land based casinos, it is quite popular online. The game is very simple to learn and easy to play.
Red Dog is played against the dealer, with cards ranked as in poker. The suits are irrelevant and aces are always high. First thing to do is place a wager and click the DEAL button and you will receive two cards. The aim of the game is to bet that your next card will be a rank that is in between the ranks of the two cards you have in front of you.
The odds of you hitting a card that is in between your two cards varies depending on the "spread" of your two cards. So for example
if your two cards were a 5 and 10, then the spread would be 4. A favourable spread is 7 or more.
If the two cards dealt to the player are consecutive cards then the hand is considered a "push" due to there being no spread and your bet is refunded. If the two cards are identical, then a third card is dealt, and if you hit 3-of-a-kind then you are paid out 11/1. If the third card is a not a match, then the hand is also a push.
If there is a spread between your two original cards, then the dealer announces the spread and you have the option of placing an additional bet up to the amount of the original wager. You are betting that the third card dealt will fall between the spread. If the third card matches either card or falls outside the spread then you lose your bets. However if the card is in between your two original cards then you will be paid out as follows:
