Red Dog Poker is very popular game and is extremely easy to understand how to play. It is sometimes also referred to and is known as Acey-Deucey or In-Between. Red Dog is a card game played on a table similar to that of a blackjack table. The table is a little bit different then a blackjack table though as it has two betting spots that are marked with the word Bet and Raise as seen to the right here in Figure 1.0. Red Dog Poker is a game that is know to be played with up to 6 decks of cards at times depending on the land based casino or online casino. The object in Red Dog is to bet on what the third card may be.

Once you have placed your opening bet the dealer will deal you out two cards, one which will be placed on the left and one on the right hand side. What you have to do now is bet on the chance that the third card that the dealer will deal you will fall between the ranks of the first two cards you were dealt. In Red Dog you don't have to worry about the suits of the cards as they are not important in this game. So for example if the first two cards dealt are four and nine you must get a card between the values of five and eight otherwise you will have lost that round.

Values of the cards from two to ten are face value. A jack counts for 11 a queen for 12 a king for 13 and an ace counts as 14 in Red Dog. Now this where the raise bet some in and it is based on the spread. Spread is referred to as the value between the two cards. If we use the example from above the spread is three. In a situation where the two cards dealt to you initially are consecutive, for example four and five, the hand would be over and your wager would be returned to you. In a case where you're dealt a Pair the betting will stop, however you still have a chance to get an 11:1 payout if the third card has the same value as the first two cards you were dealt.

I would have to personally say that the most interesting thing is betting on the spread. With this second and optional bet in Red Dog you are more or less going for a bonus payout. The odds of the spread are always st by the casino and may vary from casino to casino to read through the rules when you're playing online for details on the spread odds. As a rule of thumb just remember that the closer the two cards rank the higher the potential payout you can get.
