Casino Games - Red Dog Poker

Red Dog Poker is a slight misnomer as it doesn't really resemble any other form of poker, but it is a traditional casino card game which is showing something of a revival thanks to online casinos. It's a really simple game to learn and the best bit is that the casinos only enjoy a small house advantage.

Red Dog isn't technically a poker game, but it is a traditional casino game which is showing a rise in popularity due to online exposure.

Also known as "Between the Sheets", Red Dog Poker is built around the concept of the "spread" or "distance" between two cards. Players are dealt two cards and place bets on whether they think a third card's value will fall between the original two (Aces are High Only).

If the two cards dealt to the player are consecutive cards (i.e. 7 & 8) then hand is considered a "push" due to there being no spread between the cards. If the two cards are identical, a third card is dealt. If this card matches the original two, the dealer pays out 11/1. If any other non-matching card is dealt, the hand is a push.

When there is spread between the two original cards, the spread or difference announced by the dealer and the player has the option of placing an additional bet (up to the amount of the original wager) that the third card will fall between the spread. When dealt, if the third card falls between the spread of the original two cards, the player wins the bet. If the third card matches either of the first two cards, or falls outside the spread, the player loses.

Payouts are determined according to the following payout schedule:

Spread between the two cards Payout on third card
falling between spread
1 5:1
2 4:1
3 2:1
4 - 11 1:1 (Even Money)
