Online Red DogOnline casinos generally feature fabulous game selections. More often than not, they make a selling point out of featuring as many games as possible. There are online casinos out there which will feature 8 blackjack variants and 9 roulette ones. It is therefore quite a dilemma for a casino gambler who’s looking for the best odds to make an educated choice in the matter. |

There are players out there who
know specifically what they sign up
for. There are roulette players for
instance who head straight for the
roulette section and never bother
with anything else. Those who don’t
however, may want to know a little
more about games that are off the
beaten path, like for instance
Red Dog.
Red Dog is a casino game based on
Acey-Deucey. As a matter of fact,
there seems to be a little bit of
confusion regarding the name of
this game on account of the fact
that Red Dog used to be the name of
a different game. What’s now called
Red Dog by the casinos used to be
known as Acey-Deucey or “between
the sheets”. The game is a
card-game which can be played with
a single deck of cards, or with as
many as 8. Unlike in blackjack,
where the more decks the dealer
uses the higher the house edge
goes, in Red Dog, more decks mean
slightly better player odds,
therefore players are best off
looking for games which feature
more decks.
The game begins with a compulsory
player bet followed by the dealing
of two face-up cards. If the two
cards’ face values are adjacent,
it’s a push: the player gets his
bet back. If the two cards are of
matching face values, the player is
not allowed to place another bet
(known as a ‘raise’ in Red Dog).
Instead, a third card is dealt
which decides the outcome: if the
third card matches the two already
on the table, the player hits a
huge payout: 11:1. This is the
biggest possible player payout in
Red Dog. If the third card doesn’t
match, a push is called and the
player gets his initially wagered
money back.
If the two initial cards do not
match nor are they adjacent, the
player can place another bet. After
that, the dealer turns over a third
card. If this card falls between
the sheets (between the two initial
cards that is) the player wins. If
it falls outside the range, the
house wins.
Player payouts are directly
dependent on the spread between the
two initial cards. Obviously, the
smaller this spread is, the bigger
the payout will be. For everything
above a 3-card spread, players get
even money on their wagers in case
of a win. For a 3-card spread, they
get 2-1. For a 2-card spread, the
reward is 4-1. For a 1-card spread,
the reward is 5-1.
Several players can play Red Dog at
a table at the same time in a live
casino setting obviously, but their
number is completely irrelevant
strategy-wise. One last thing you
may want to know about Red Dog: the
house edge on it is 3%, and it will
decrease a tad with the addition of
more decks.
If you intend to play Red Dog,
definitely take your game online:
online casinos will pay players all
sorts of
poker rakeback-like loyalty
bonuses and high rollers may even
end up rewarded as lavishly as a
poker prop.
Poker rooms use poker props to
boost their traffic and to secure
critical player liquidity.
