Red Dog Poker Game for US Players
With roots in America's old West, Red Dog is a game of chance that lets you sink your teeth into some big prizes. In Red Dog, you are dealt two cards, face up. You decide if the next card you draw will rank between the first two cards. Feeling wary? Continue without raising your bet. But, if you think you can take on the big dog, go ahead and raise! Special payouts are awarded depending on the spread between the first two cards - the smaller the spread, the bigger the payout!
Red dog is one of the card games played in land-based casinos or online casinos. It is also called red dog poker or yablon.
Red dog poker game may be played with one to eight decks of standard fifty-two-card variety. The house edge decreases with increasing number of card deck numbers - the house's advantage is 3.155% for one deck, but falls to 2.751% when eight decks are used. This is in contrast with blackjack, where the house edge increases when more decks are used.
The game only uses three cards at a time, ranked as in poker games. When playing, two cards are faced up on the table. There are three possibilities:
- If the two cards are consecutive in number (for example, a 7 and 8, or a J and a Q), it is a push hand and the player's wager is returned.
- If the two cards are of equal value, a third card is dealt. If the third card is of the same value, then the payout for the player is 11:1, otherwise the hand is a push.
- If neither of the above is the case (for example, a 5 and a 9), then a spread is announced which determines the payoff and a 3rd card will be dealt. Before the 3rd card dealing, players can double the bet. If the card is in between the value of the first two cards, the player will receive a payoff according to the spread; otherwise the bet is lost.
