  INTRO
Also
known as yablon, ace-deuce, in between, and between the
sheets, red dog is a card game that was introduced to the
casinos in Nevada in the 1980's.
The game is played on blackjack-sized tables with a shoe
holding six decks of cards. There is one dealer and can
be up to as many as 16 players.
CARD
VALUES
The card values for the game are as follows:
| •
|
two
through ten are worth their face value |
| •
|
jacks
are worth 11 |
| •
|
queens
are worth 12 |
| •
|
kings
are worth 13 |
| •
|
aces
are worth 14 |
Play
commences when the player places a bet and the dealer removes
two cards from the shoe and places them face up on the table.
The player then decides whether or not to raise the bet.
The dealer deals a third card and if the value of the card
falls between the values of the other two cards, the player
is a winner. Original bets are payed out at even money,
and raise bets are payed out according to a scale, where
the closer the two cards are together, the better the payout
is.
PAYOUTS
The payouts for different spreads are as follows:
| •
|
1
card spread pays 5:1 |
| •
|
2
card spread pays 4:1 |
| •
|
3
card spread pays 2:1 |
| •
|
4
to 11 card spread pays even money |
A
push results when the dealer deals out two consecutive cards
or a pair. When a pair is dealt, the dealer immediately
deals a third card. If the result is a three of a kind,
the player is payed out 11:1.
hint: it makes the most sense to raise on those hands
that have a spread of seven or more.
