Game rules

Red Dog hands are dealt from a standard 52 card deck - a round of Red Dog begins with you being dealt 2 face-up cards.

The aim of the game is to predict whether the third card will fall between the values of the first two cards. For example, if you're dealt one card with a denomination of 2 and a second card with a value of 8, you need to decide whether the third card will be a 3, 5, 6 or 7 - if the third card is within the 2 cards, you win - if it's outside the two cards, you lose.

Red Dog doesn't give you the option of backing out of a bet, however you can use judgment to double your stake before the third card is dealt, if you're confident it will fall between the two cards - essentially, if you think the card will fall outside the cards (in other words you think the dealer is going to win), do not double your stake. When you're confident the third card will win, raise your bet and take the money.

Because you can't do anything to prevent losing Red Dog hands, the road to success often comes from successful doubling up and luck of the draw.
