Red-Dog poker rules are very basic, as there isn’t much to the game. You may have read earlier that with each variation on classic poker, the greater the changes the less skill is needed for the game. Red dog seems to be the epitome of this statement. The cards are ranked just as they are in poker, aces are high, suit is irrelevant. The first player is dealt two cards by the dealer after placing a bet (sometimes referred to as an ante, but the amount can vary). If the two cards are consecutive (i.e. 4,5) the hand is considered a push and the bet is returned. If the cards are equal a third card is dealt. If it is the same as the first two cards the player wins and is paid 11 to 1. Otherwise the hand is a push. Some variations of the game allow you to bet on whether the third card on two equals is higher or lower than the value of the equal cards.

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.All cards are ranked as in poker, the suit is irrelevant, and aces are always high. First the player places a wager. Then the dealer places two cards on the table face up. If the two cards are consecutive then the hand is a push. If the two cards are equal a third card is dealt, a matching third card pays 11:1, otherwise the hand is a push.If the two cards are neither consecutive nor equal the dealer announces the spread, or the number of card values in between the cards. For example a 5 and 10 would have a spread of 4. The player is then given a chance to increase the wager up to the amount of the original wager. Then a third card is dealt, if it is in between the first two cards the player wins according to the following payout table, if it matches or is outside the first two cards the player loses.
