Objective of Red Dog
Your aim is to predict whether the value of a randomly selected card falls
between the value of two cards drawn previously by the dealer.
In this game, the value of any card from 2 to 10 counts at face value, a
jack counts as 11, a queen as 12, a king as 13, and an ace counts as 14.
How to Play Red Dog
The game is played on a table similar to a blackjack table. You
must place a bet on the table and the dealer draws two cards and places
them face up on the table.
A black marker (with a Red Dog on top) will be then be placed on the table
indicating the spread between the two cards the dealer has drawn.
Depending on the value of the two cards drawn by the dealer, you have
the option to make a raise wager and a third card may or may not be drawn.
This will depend on the values of the two cards drawn by the dealer. Three
different situations may occur, and they are summarized below.
Pair Hand:
A pair hand occurs when the dealer draws two cards of the same value (for
example, two Kings). In this case, the dealer will automatically draw
a third card. If the value of the third card is the same as the previous
two, all players win with a payoff of 11:1. If the value of the third
card is different from the previous two, the hand is declared a push and
the player's original wager is returned.
Consecutive Hand:
When the value of the two cards drawn by the dealer are consecutive (for
example, a 5 and 6, or Queen and King) this is called a consecutive hand.
In this case, the dealer will not draw a third card, the hand is declared
a push and the player's original wager is returned.
Non-Consecutive Hand:
Most hands in Red Dog fall into this category. When the dealer draws two
cards which are not consecutive or the same, this is called a non-consecutive
hand.
In this case, the dealer will announce the spread between the two drawn
cards and place a Red Dog on the table indicating the spread.
The spread is number of values that fall between the values of the two
cards drawn by the dealer.
For example, if the two cards drawn by the dealer were 2 and Jack, the
spread is 8 since there are eight values between the 2 and Jack (3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
When the spread is announced and marked (by the Red Dog), you have the
option to make a raise wager up to the amount of the original wager prior
to the dealer drawing the third card.
You win if the value of the third card falls between the value of the
two cards originally drawn by the dealer. However, if the third card drawn
is identical to either of the first two, the bet is lost. There is never
a push in non-consecutive hands.
Payoffs when playing Red Dog
All winning and raise wagers in non-consecutive hands are paid
at odds determined by the spread:
Spread Payoffs : 1 - 5:1, 2 - 4:1, 3 - 2:1, 4 to 11 1:1
