How to play Red Dog
HISTORY
Red Dog is a variation of the game Yablon, also known as
Ace-Deuce or In-Between. The name Red Dog is borrowed from a game of the
same name but that is where the similarities end. Surpassed only by
Blackjack, the original Red Dog was the most popular fast-action card
game played by servicemen during World War II.
OBJECT
The object of the game is to predict whether the value of a third
card will fall between the values of two previously drawn cards. If you
predict that it will, you will want to Raise your bet before the third
card is drawn.
OVERVIEW
After placing a bet, two cards are dealt face up on the table.
-
If the two cards are ranked consecutively, the hand
is tie. A third card is not drawn and no Raise bets are allowed.
-
If the two cards are a pair, no Raise bets are
allowed but a third card is drawn. If the third card drawn produces
three of a kind, you win! If not, the hand is tie.
-
If the two cards are not a pair and not
consecutive, a third card will be drawn. Before you click the Draw
button to have the third card dealt, you can Raise your bet by
left-clicking on the Raise area on the table. If the value of the
third card falls between the values of the first two cards, you win!
The spread, or number of cards between the first two cards, determines
the odds payoff on winning bets. See Payoff Odds.
GAME RULES

PLAYING THE GAME
The game starts when you place a bet. The details of placing bets
can be read in Placing Bets on Table Games. It is strongly recommended that you
read these Common Factors before playing. After placing your initial bet,
left-click the Deal button to deal the cards. Evaluate the spread
of the cards and decide if you want to Raise your Bet. If you do,
left-click the Raise box. This will place a bet equal to your original
Bet into the Raise box. Now left-click the Draw button. If you do
not want to Raise, simply left-click the Draw button. Remember
that you cannot raise your Bet when the first two cards are consecutive
or a pair. If the third card falls between the first two cards or
produces a three of a kind, you are paid according to the Payoff Odds.
