Red Dog Basics
Red Dog name
When the game was first introduced in the United States in the 19th century, it was known as In-Between. However, the game was not hugely popular as the original rules made it too easy for players to cheat. Other gambling card games like poker were much more popular with gamblers of the time. However, when gambling was legalized in Las Vegas in 1931 the game was reintroduced with new rules and a new name – Red Dog Poker.
Origin of red dog game
The game of Red Dog Poker has a history that goes back over a century. It was originally played in the United States during the 1800s. However, the game would never have been created if it hadn’t been for the invention of playing cards in 12th century Egypt, China or India.

The
Basics
Red
Dog is a true game of chance. Once an initial bet is placed
the dealer lays out two cards. At this point, you have the choice
to double the bet or stand. Your task is to draw a card whose
value falls between the dealer's two cards. The payouts are
higher depending on the numerical difference between the two
exposed cards. The payouts are based on the difference in values
of exposed cards as follow:
Possible
Cards Payout
1 (e.g. 5,7) 4:1
2 (e.g. 5,8) 3:1
3 (e.g. 5,9) 2:1
4 to 11 1:1
Consecutive (e.g. J, Q) Push
Pair (e.g. 7,7) Push
Three of a Kind 11:1
Note: Aces are always high.
If
the value of the third card falls outside the range of the first
two, or is equal to one of the exposed cards, you lose. If the
two exposed cards are consecutive, all bets are pushed back.
If the two exposed cards are equal in value, you will not have
the option to raise the bet. An additional card is automatically
drawn. If the third card completes a "three of a kind",
you receive an 11:1 payout! If you do not achieve a three of
a kind your bet is pushed back.
