Red Dog is a
simple poker 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. |
